READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Prospect!
Ever wanted to see your spine
move under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your
Ashburn chiropractor! - are in progress and leaning in that direction! A new study was just released
that documented the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous
process gapping - the alteration 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 motion can be prompted.
Say, for a patient who has pain due to an L5-S1
disc herniation, biomechanical studies have revealed
that Cox® Technic widens the area of the spine’s intervertebral foramen by 28% allotting
a herniated disc spavce to not physically aggravate
a spinal nerve. Movement of the spinal vertebrae (mean) in flexion was 3.68°
with 0.80 mm separation. (2,3) Very nice! Chiropractic care at
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn helps reduce back pain and leg pain so our Ashburn
chiropractic patients can return to living
their lives! One day, technology may even permit us,
you and your chiropractor, to see the changes in real time. Quite sensational!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. James Cox, developer of Cox® Technic protocols, on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson about the recorded
benefits of The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Ashburn 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 enhancing cardiovascular health and boosting
memory. A recent study added to this list by explaining
that higher consumption of flavonoid-rich foods was associated
with lowering type 2 diabetes risk (4) while another noted
just how well eating fruits and vegetables enhanced
memory and attention, particularly in children’s immediate
recall after comsuming blueberries while older adults need more of both to get as noteworthy an
improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound found in
blueberries is one that may help the management of obesity and
mental well-being. (6) Eating wild blueberries showed improved
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!
