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.
Fernandina Beach 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 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! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
