September 2020 Healthy News from Aaron Chiropractic Clinic: 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 thought to be a surgical issue necessitating fusion. Combine the two of these in one patient and the Fort Wayne chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Fort Wayne chiropractor encounter a challenge that calls for gentle, skilled 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 a month brought about 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 10 years follow-up, the patient demonstrated no orthopedic or neurological issues and recounted no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Delight in This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and increase your bone density to improve 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, 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 reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples supplement a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
