READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Possibility!
Ever wanted to see your spine
move under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your
Williamson chiropractor! - are in progress and leaning in that direction! A recent study was just published
that documented the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous
process gapping - the alteration in distance
between the spinous processes as they open - during Cox® Technic
flexion distraction spinal manipulation. (1) Cox® Technic is so precise
a treatment protocol that specific segment motion can be prompted.
Say, for a patient experiencing pain with an L5-S1
disc herniation, biomechanical studies have shown
that Cox® Technic widens the area of the spine’s intervertebral foramen by 28% allowing
a herniated disc spavce to not physically aggravate
a spinal nerve. Movement of the spinal vertebrae (mean) in flexion was 3.68°
with 0.80 mm separation. (2,3) Very good! Chiropractic care at
Apple Country Chiropractic helps reduce back pain and leg pain so our Williamson
chiropractic patients can return to living
their lives! Some day, technology may even allow us,
you and your chiropractor, to see the changes in real time. Quite exciting!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. James Cox, developer of Cox® Technic protocols, on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson about the recorded
benefits of The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Williamson CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH TIP OF MONTH:
Blueberries for Weight Control, Mood, Memory, and More!
Flavonoids – polyphenolic compounds that give color to fruits and veggies – are well-known for
being antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging as well as valuable
in enhancing cardiovascular health and increasing
memory. A new study added to this list by noting
that the more one eats flavonoid-rich foods, the lower the risk one has of
having type 2 diabetes (4) while another noted
just how well eating fruits and vegetables improved
memory and attention, especially in children’s immediate
recall after eating blueberries while older adults need more of both to get as noteworthy 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 showed improved
mental affect and executive function after one dose of
blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are good! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
