September 2020 Healthy News from Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn: Cox Technic Eases Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!

Extruded discs by themselves are painful and often considered surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis alone is a disabling, painful condition and many times thought to be a surgical issue requiring fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in one patient and the Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor face a challenge that demands gentle, skilled care. A newly 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 a month 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 the ninth visit. At 10 years follow-up, the patient had no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Ashburn and Herndon 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? Have an apple! Apples are extraordinarily 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 features to protect the brain, and flavonoids that may lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples round out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
