READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Prospect!
Are you curious about what your spine looks like moving
under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your
Groton chiropractor! - are underway
leading in that direction! A recent study was just released
that recorded the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous
process separation - the change in distance
between the spinous processes as they open - during Cox® Technic
flexion distraction spinal manipulation. (1) Cox® Technic is so precise
a treatment protocol that specific segment motion can be elicited.
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% 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 nice! Chiropractic care at
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office helps ease back pain and leg pain so our Groton
chiropractic patients can return to living
their lives! Some day, technology may even permit us,
you and your chiropractor, to visualize 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 recorded
benefits of The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Groton 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 boosting
memory. A new study added to this list by noting
that higher consumption of flavonoid-rich foods was associated
with lowering type 2 diabetes risk (4) while another noted
just how well eating fruits and vegetables improved
memory and attention, particularly in children’s immediate
recall after eating blueberries while older adults need more of both to get as significant 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 showed improved
mental affect and executive function after a single dose of
blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are so
healthy! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
