Cox® Technic Delivers Back Pain
Relief for a Challenging Case: Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic
Spondylolisthesis
Extruded discs alone
are painful and many times deemed surgical
issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling,
painful condition and many times thought to be a surgical
issue needing fusion. Combine the two of these in a single patient and the Sitka
chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Sitka
chiropractor face a challenge that calls for
gentle, skilled care. A newly published case
report of a patient with a disc extrusion – 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 4 weeks resulted in pain relief.
The patient who rated his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 being
the worst pain) on the first visit rated it 0 out of 10 on the
ninth visit. Follow-up at 10 years revealed that the patient had no orthopedic or
neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the earlier
symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan? The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management, the same care used at our
chiropractic clinic. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka welcomes challenging
Sitka back pain cases like this!
Listen to this PODCAST with chiropractic
back pain specialist, Dr. Casey Bearden on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr.
Michael Johnson as he shared how spondylolisthesis with
disc bulges positively responded to his treatment utilizing
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

TIP OF THE MONTH:
Delight in This Apple
Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and increase your
bone density to help your spine. Lower your risk of
diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Have an apple!
Apples are amazingly healthy! They have few calories, good pre-biotic pectin that feeds the good
gut bacteria, plenty of fiber and water to make you
feel full, loads of polyphenols
in the peel which are antioxidant, acetylcholine-level-preserving features
to protect the brain, and flavonoids that may reduce blood pressure,
cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples round
out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
