September 2020 Healthy News from Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation: Cox Technic Relieves Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!
Extruded discs by themselves are painful and many times considered surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and many times considered a surgical issue needing fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in a single patient and the Carrolltown chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Carrolltown chiropractor face 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 entered 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 being the worst pain) on the first visit rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. At ten years follow-up, the patient demonstrated no orthopedic or neurological issues and recounted no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Enjoy This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and raise your bone density to help your spine. Lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Have an apple! Apples are amazingly healthy! They have few calories, good pre-biotic pectin that feeds the good gut bacteria, plenty of fiber and water to make you feel full, lots of polyphenols in the peel which are antioxidant, 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!
