September 2020 Healthy News from Back And Neck Care Center: Cox Technic Relieves Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!

Extruded discs alone are painful and many times deemed surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and many times considered a surgical issue requiring fusion. Combine the two of these in one patient and the Severna Park chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Severna Park chiropractor encounter a challenge that calls for 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 ranked his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 indicating the worst pain) on visit 1 rated it 0 out of 10 on the ninth visit. Follow-up at 10 years revealed that the patient had no orthopedic or neurological issues and recounted no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Severna Park 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. Reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Eat an apple! Apples are amazingly healthy! They have few calories, good pre-biotic pectin that feeds the good gut bacteria, lots of fiber and water to make you feel full, lots 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!
