September 2020 Healthy News from Hollstrom & Associates Inc: Cox Technic Relieves Back Pain due to Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis and Eat an Apple!
Extruded discs alone are painful and often believed to be surgical issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis by itself is a disabling, painful condition and often considered a surgical issue necessitating fusion. Combine the two of these in a single patient and the Largo chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your Largo chiropractor encounter a challenge that demands gentle, skilled care. A newly published case report of a patient with an extruded disc – 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 a month brought about pain relief. The patient who ranked his pain a 9 out of 10 (a 10 indicating the worst pain) on visit 1 rated it 0 out of 10 on visit 9. Follow-up at ten years revealed that the patient demonstrated no orthopedic or neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the earlier symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan?

Largo CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Delight in This Apple Season!
Feed the gut. Lose some weight and raise your bone density to help your spine. Reduce 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 feeds the good gut bacteria, plenty of fiber and water to fill you up, loads of polyphenols in the peel which are antioxidant, acetylcholine-level-preserving factors to protect the brain, and flavonoids that may lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke risk. (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Apples round out a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
