September 2020 Healthy News from New Roads Chiropractic Center: Cox Technic Eases Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!

Extruded discs by themselves are painful and often considered surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and many times considered a surgical issue needing fusion. Combine the two of these in one patient and the New Roads chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your New Roads chiropractor face a challenge that demands gentle, experienced care. A recently published case report of a patient with a disc extrusion – one that has escaped its outer bands and settled into the spinal canal space – and spondylolytic spondylolisthesis – involving separation of the pars interarticularis – detailed how just 9 visits in a month resulted in pain relief. The patient who ranked his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 indicating the worst pain) on the first visit rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. At 10 years follow-up, the patient had no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

New Roads CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Delight in This Apple Season!

Feed the gut. Lose some weight and increase your bone density to help your spine. Lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Have an apple! Apples are very healthy! They have hardly any calories, good pre-biotic pectin that feeds the good gut bacteria, plenty of fiber and water to fill you up, loads of antioxidant polyphenols in the peel, acetylcholine-level-preserving factors to protect the brain, and flavonoids that may reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples supplement a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
