READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Possibility!
Are you curious about what your spine looks like moving
under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your
Plainville chiropractor! - are underway
leading in that direction! A recent study was just distributed
that recorded the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous
process separation - the change in distance
between the spinous processes as they gap - during Cox® Technic
flexion distraction spinal manipulation. (1) Cox® Technic is a particular treatment protocol that specific segment activity can be prompted.
Say, for a patient who has pain with an L5-S1
disc herniation, biomechanical studies have shown
that Cox® Technic widens the area of the spine’s intervertebral foramen by 28% allotting
a herniated disc spavce to not physically irritate
a spinal nerve. Movement of the spinal vertebrae (mean) in flexion was 3.68°
with 0.80 mm separation. (2,3) Very nice! Chiropractic care at
Layden Chiropractic helps decrease back pain and leg pain so our Plainville
chiropractic patients can return to living
their lives! Some day, technology may even permit us,
you and your chiropractor, to see the changes in real time. Quite exciting!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. James Cox, developer of Cox® Technic protocols, on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson about the recorded
benefits of The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Plainville CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH TIP OF MONTH:
Blueberries for Weight Control, Mood, Memory, and More!
Flavonoids – polyphenolic compounds that give color to fruits and veggies – are well-known for
being antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging as well as effective
in enhancing cardiovascular health and increasing
memory. A new study added to this list by explaining
that higher consumption of flavonoid-rich foods was associated
with lowering type 2 diabetes risk (4) while another noted
just how well consuming fruits and vegetables enhanced
memory and attention, particularly in children’s immediate
recall after eating blueberries while older adults need a
higher dose of both to attain as significant an
improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound found in
blueberries is one that may help the management of obesity and
mental well-being. (6) Eating wild blueberries exhibited improved
mental affect and executive function after a single dose of
blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are good! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
