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 Tonawanda 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 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 prompted. Say, for a patient who has pain due to an L5-S1 disc herniation, biomechanical studies have revealed that Cox® Technic widens the area of the spine’s intervertebral foramen by 28% allotting a herniated disc spavce to not physically bother 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 Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation helps reduce back pain and leg pain so our Tonawanda chiropractic patients can return to living their lives! One day, technology may even permit us, you and your chiropractor, to see the changes as they are happening. 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 documented benefits of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

Tonawanda 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 effective 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 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 get as noteworthy 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 better mental affect and executive function after a single dose of blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are great! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
