September 2020 Healthy News from Aurora Chiropractic 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 believed to be surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and many times considered a surgical issue necessitating fusion. Combine the two of these in one patient and the Juneau chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Juneau chiropractor encounter a challenge that demands gentle, experienced care. A recently published case report of a patient with an extruded disc – one that has escaped its outer bands and settled into the spinal canal space – and spondylolytic spondylolisthesis – involving separation of the pars interarticularis – detailed how just 9 visits in 4 weeks resulted in pain relief. The patient who rated his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 being the worst pain) on the first visit rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. At 10 years follow-up, the patient demonstrated no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Juneau 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. Reduce 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, plenty 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 round out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
