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
Minster chiropractor! - are underway
leading in that direction! A recent study was just distributed
that recorded the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous
process gapping - the change in distance
between the spinous processes as they gap - during Cox® Technic
flexion distraction spinal manipulation. (1) Cox® Technic is so precise
a treatment protocol that specific segment activity can be prompted.
Say, for a patient experiencing 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 good! Chiropractic care at
Minster Chiropractic Center helps reduce back pain and leg pain so our Minster
chiropractic patients can return to their normal activities of daily living! Some day, technology may even allow 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.
Minster 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 enhancing cardiovascular health and increasing
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, especially in children’s immediate
recall after comsuming blueberries while older adults need more of both to attain as significant an
improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound from
blueberries is one that may help 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!
