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 Murfreesboro chiropractor! - are underway leading in that direction! A new study was just distributed that documented 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 elicited. Say, for a patient who has 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% allowing a herniated disc room to not physically irritate 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 Most Chiropractic Clinic helps decrease back pain and leg pain so our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients can return to living their lives! Some day, technology may even allow us, you and your chiropractor, to see the changes as they are happening. Quite exciting!

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.

Murfreesboro 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 recent 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 noted just how well consuming fruits and vegetables enhanced 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 from blueberries is one that may help 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 so healthy! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
