September 2020 Healthy News from Layden Chiropractic: Cox Technic Relieves Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!
Extruded discs alone are painful and often deemed 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 a single patient and the Plainville chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Plainville chiropractor face 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 settled 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 the first visit rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. At ten years follow-up, the patient had no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the original symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Plainville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Enjoy 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 very healthy! They have few calories, good pre-biotic pectin that nourishes 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 features 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!
