READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Possibility!

Ever wanted to see your spine move under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your Auburn chiropractor! - are underway leading in that direction! A recent study was just published that recorded the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous process separation - the alteration 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 motion can be prompted. Say, for a patient experiencing pain with 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 spavce 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 nice! Chiropractic care at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. helps decrease back pain and leg pain so our Auburn chiropractic patients can return to living their lives! One 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.

Auburn 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 valuable in improving 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 consuming fruits and vegetables improved memory and attention, particularly in children’s immediate recall after eating blueberries while older adults need more of both to attain 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 improved mental affect and executive function after a single dose of blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are great!
