Cox® Technic Delivers Back Pain Relief for a Challenging Case: Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis
Extruded discs alone are painful and many times believed to be surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and many times considered a surgical issue needing fusion. Bring these two conditions together in in a single patient and the Southern New Hampshire chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Southern New Hampshire chiropractor face a challenge that demands gentle, experienced care. A newly published case report of a patient with an extruded disc – one that has escaped its outer bands and entered into the spinal canal space – and spondylolytic spondylolisthesis – involving separation of the pars interarticularis – described how just 9 visits in 4 weeks brought about pain relief. The patient who rated his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 being the worst pain) on visit 1 rated it 0 out of 10 on the ninth visit. Follow-up at ten years revealed that the patient showed no orthopedic or neurological issues and recounted no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Southern New Hampshire CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Delight in This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and increase your bone density to improve your spine. Lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Protect the brain. How? Have an apple! Apples are extraordinarily healthy! They have hardly any calories, good pre-biotic pectin that nourishes the good gut bacteria, lots of fiber and water to make you feel full, lots of antioxidant polyphenols in the peel, acetylcholine-level-preserving features to protect the brain, and flavonoids that may lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples supplement a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
