September 2020 Healthy News from Wilson Family Chiropractic: Cox Technic Relieves Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!

Extruded discs by themselves are painful and many times believed to be surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and many times thought to be a surgical issue necessitating fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in a single patient and the Millville chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Millville chiropractor face a challenge that demands gentle, skilled care. A newly published case report of a patient with an extruded disc – one that has escaped its outer bands and entered 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 being the worst pain) on the first visit rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. Follow-up at ten years revealed that the patient had no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Millville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Enjoy This Apple Season!

Feed the gut. Lose some weight and raise your bone density to improve your spine. Reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Have an apple! Apples are very healthy! They have few calories, good pre-biotic pectin that nourishes the good gut bacteria, plenty of fiber and water to fill you up, loads of antioxidant polyphenols in the peel, acetylcholine-level-preserving features 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!
