September 2020 Healthy News from Novelli Wellness Center: Cox Technic Relieves 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 often considered a surgical issue necessitating fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in one patient and the Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Orchard Park, NY chiropractor encounter a challenge that calls for gentle, skilled 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 – 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 indicating the worst pain) on visit 1 rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. At ten years follow-up, the patient had no orthopedic or neurological issues and recounted no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Orchard Park, NY CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Enjoy 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? Have an apple! Apples are amazingly healthy! They have hardly any calories, good pre-biotic pectin that feeds the good gut bacteria, lots 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 reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples round out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
