September 2020 Healthy News from Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre: Cox Technic Eases Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!
Extruded discs alone are painful and often considered surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and many times considered a surgical issue necessitating fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in one patient and the Toronto chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Toronto chiropractor encounter a challenge that demands gentle, experienced care. A recently published case report of a patient with an extruded disc – one that has escaped its outer bands and settled into the spinal canal space – and spondylolytic spondylolisthesis – involving separation of the pars interarticularis – detailed how just 9 visits in a month brought about pain relief. The patient who rated his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 indicating the worst pain) on visit 1 rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. Follow-up at 10 years revealed that the patient showed no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Toronto CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Delight in This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and raise your bone density to help your spine. Lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Eat an apple! Apples are very healthy! They have hardly any calories, good pre-biotic pectin that feeds the good gut bacteria, plenty of fiber and water to fill you up, lots of polyphenols in the peel which are antioxidant, acetylcholine-level-preserving factors to protect the brain, and flavonoids that may lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples round out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
