September 2020 Healthy News from Chiropractic Solutions: 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 thought to be a surgical issue needing fusion. Combine the two of these in one patient and the San Jose chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your San Jose chiropractor encounter a challenge that demands gentle, experienced 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 4 weeks 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. At ten years follow-up, the patient showed no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

San Jose 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. Lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Eat an apple! Apples are very healthy! They have hardly any calories, good pre-biotic pectin that nourishes the good gut bacteria, plenty of fiber and water to fill you up, lots of antioxidant polyphenols in the peel, acetylcholine-level-preserving factors to protect the brain, and flavonoids that may lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples supplement a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
