It is all connected. The spine, the hips, the
knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In newer studies, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief
of lower limb pain and weakness as
well as imbalance are explored.
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic has seen such relief. The research contributes
to the talk with such Montreal chiropractic patients
that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Montreal chiropractic patients seek care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic with usually one pain issue and do
not even note other issues until we find them
together via the spinal exam. We are often
detectives together! The chiropractic exam can uncover
clues to the condition at hand, clues that often are painful
or weak and, thankfully, also resolve with chiropractic treatment. Lower
limb weakness is manytimes overlooked
by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One report
stated that a single spinal manipulation enhanced
muscle strength (for 30 minutes) and corticospinal excitability
(for an hour) to ankle plantar flexor muscles in Taekwondo
athletes. (1) Another paper of spinal manipulation’s effect on
lower limb strength of healthy people showed immediate increase
in muscle strength after just one session. The chiropractic
spinal manipulation treatment helps ease the pain and improve
the lower limb weakness. The effect is found to be immediate
with only one spinal manipulation. For patients with hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength
improvement is even larger. (2) Patients at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic have enjoyed
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Montreal chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances for whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the
other have noticed relief with their Montreal chiropractic
spinal manipulation, too. They may realize they have it
or do not realize it until we go through the exam jointly.
Once discovered, limb strength imbalances of a minimum of 15% in hip flexion, extension, abduction or knee flexion treated
with spinal manipulation improved compared to placebo
treatment. These strength improvements were noted after just
one lumbar spine manipulation session. (3) Spinal mobilization improved
hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are
positive outcomes for our Montreal chiropractic
patients!
