Cox® Technic Delivers Back Pain
Relief for a Challenging Case: Disc Extrusion with Spondylolytic
Spondylolisthesis
Extruded discs by themselves
are painful and often believed to be surgical
issues. Spondylolytic spondylolisthesis alone is a disabling,
painful condition and many times thought to be a surgical
issue needing fusion. Combine the two of these in one patient and the La Grande
chiropractic patient and the treating physician like your La Grande
chiropractor face a challenge that calls for
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 4 weeks resulted in 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. At 10
years follow-up, the patient demonstrated no orthopedic or
neurological issues and reported no recurrence of the original
symptoms. (1) What was the treatment plan? The Cox® Technic System of

TIP OF THE MONTH:
Enjoy 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? Eat an apple!
Apples are very healthy! They have few calories, good pre-biotic pectin that feeds the good
gut bacteria, lots 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 supplement a healthy chiropractic approach to life!
