September 2020 Healthy News from Amelia Chiropractic Clinic: Cox Technic Relieves Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!
Extruded discs alone 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. Combine the two of these in a single patient and the Fernandina Beach chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor face a challenge that demands gentle, skilled care. A newly 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 rated 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 ten years follow-up, the patient demonstrated no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Delight in This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and raise 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 nourishes the good gut bacteria, lots of fiber and water to make you feel full, 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!
