September 2020 Healthy News from Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc: Cox Technic Relieves Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!
Extruded discs alone are painful and often considered surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and often considered a surgical issue necessitating fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in one patient and the Fort Wayne chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Fort Wayne chiropractor encounter a challenge that calls for gentle, skilled 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 – described 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 the ninth visit. At 10 years follow-up, the patient had no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Enjoy This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and increase your bone density to help your spine. Reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Have an apple! Apples are amazingly healthy! They have hardly any calories, good pre-biotic pectin that nourishes the good gut bacteria, lots of fiber and water to fill you up, lots of polyphenols in the peel which are antioxidant, 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 round out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
