READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Prospect!
Are you curious about what your spine looks like moving
under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your
Millville chiropractor! - are in progress and leaning in that direction! A recent study was just published
that recorded the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous
process gapping - the change in distance
between the spinous processes as they gap - during Cox® Technic
flexion distraction spinal manipulation. (1) Cox® Technic is so precise
a treatment protocol that specific segment activity can be prompted.
Say, for a patient experiencing pain due to an L5-S1
disc herniation, biomechanical studies have revealed
that Cox® Technic widens the area of the spine’s intervertebral foramen by 28% allotting
a herniated disc room to not physically irritate
a spinal nerve. Movement of the spinal vertebrae (mean) in flexion was 3.68°
with 0.80 mm separation. (2,3) Very nice! Chiropractic care at
Wilson Family Chiropractic helps reduce back pain and leg pain so our Millville
chiropractic patients can return to their normal activities of daily living! Some day, technology may even allow us,
you and your chiropractor, to see the changes in real time. Quite sensational!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. James Cox, developer of Cox® Technic protocols, on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson about the documented
benefits of The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Millville CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH TIP OF MONTH:
Blueberries for Weight Control, Mood, Memory, and More!
Flavonoids – polyphenolic compounds that make fruits and
vegetables colorful – are well-known for
being antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging as well as valuable
in enhancing cardiovascular health and increasing
memory. A recent study added to this list by explaining
that higher consumption of flavonoid-rich foods was linked
with lowering type 2 diabetes risk (4) while another detailed
just how well eating fruits and vegetables enhanced
memory and attention, particularly in children’s immediate
recall after comsuming blueberries while older adults need more of both to attain as significant an
improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound found in
blueberries is one that may assist the management of obesity and
mental well-being. (6) Eating wild blueberries exhibited better
mental affect and executive function after a single dose of
blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are good! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
