Based on the results of some research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, it would appear it could. The study, entitled "Effect of Cervical Spine Manipulative Therapy on Judo Athletes' Grip Strength" by M, Botelho and B, Andrade, looked at the effect of chiropractic spinal manipulation on a team of top Judo Athletes. The results showed that there was a statistically significant increase in the grip strength in the treatment group compared to the sham group. Over the three treatments the treatment group received, the left hand grip strength improved by up to 11.53% and the right hand improved by up to 17.02%. This is quite a big improvement.
The results of this can be useful for anyone who requires grip strength for their work, sports or hobbies. Think of cricket or tennis players that need to hold onto their bat or racket. Think of tradies, like builders and plumbers, who need good grip strength to hold onto their tools. How could an improvement like this help you in your work, sports or activities?
