READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Possibility!
Ever wanted to see your spine
move under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your
Manchester chiropractor! - are in progress and leaning in that direction! A recent study was just published
that recorded the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous
process gapping - the alteration 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 motion can be elicited.
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% allowing
a herniated disc room 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 good! Chiropractic care at
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries helps decrease back pain and leg pain so our Manchester
chiropractic patients can return to their normal activities of daily living! Some day, technology may even allow us,
you and your chiropractor, to see the changes in real time. Quite sensational!
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.
Manchester CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH TIP OF MONTH:
Blueberries for Weight Control, Mood, Memory, and More!
Flavonoids – polyphenolic compounds that make fruits and
vegetables colorful – are well-known for
being antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging as well as valuable
in improving cardiovascular health and boosting
memory. A new study added to this list by noting
that the more one eats flavonoid-rich foods, the lower the risk one has of
having type 2 diabetes (4) while another detailed
just how well eating fruits and vegetables enhanced
memory and attention, particularly in children’s immediate
recall after eating blueberries while older adults need more of both to attain as noteworthy an
improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound from
blueberries is one that may assist the management of obesity and
mental well-being. (6) Eating wild blueberries exhibited better
mental affect and executive function after one dose of
blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are good! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
