September 2020 Healthy News from Young Chiropractic: 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 deemed surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and often thought to be a surgical issue requiring fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in one patient and the Easley chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Easley chiropractor face a challenge that demands gentle, skilled care. A newly published case report of a patient with a disc extrusion – 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 resulted in pain relief. The patient who ranked his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 being the worst pain) on visit 1 rated it 0 out of 10 on the ninth visit. Follow-up at ten years revealed that the patient demonstrated no orthopedic or neurological issues and recounted no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Easley CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Delight in This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and raise 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 nourishes the good gut bacteria, lots 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 lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples round out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
