READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Prospect!

Ever wanted to see your spine move under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your Fernandina Beach 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 a particular treatment protocol that specific segment activity can be prompted. Say, for a patient who has pain due to an L5-S1 disc herniation, biomechanical studies have documented that Cox® Technic widens the area of the spine’s intervertebral foramen by 28% allotting a herniated disc room to not physically aggravate 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 Amelia Chiropractic Clinic helps ease back pain and leg pain so our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients can return to living their lives! One day, technology may even allow us, you and your chiropractor, to visualize 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 documented benefits of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

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 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 detailed just how well eating fruits and vegetables improved memory and attention, especially in children’s immediate recall after eating blueberries while older adults need a higher dose of both to get as significant an improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound found in blueberries is one that may assist the management of obesity and mental well-being. (6) Eating wild blueberries showed better mental affect and executive function after a single dose of blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are great!
