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
Montreal chiropractor! - are underway
leading in that direction! A new study was just released
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 revealed
that Cox® Technic widens the area of the spine’s intervertebral foramen by 28% allowing
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 good! Chiropractic care at
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic helps decrease back pain and leg pain so our Montreal
chiropractic patients can return to their normal activities of daily living! Some day, technology may even allow us,
you and your chiropractor, to visualize 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 recorded
benefits of The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Montreal 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 new study added to this list by explaining
that the more one eats flavonoid-rich foods, the lower the risk one has of
having type 2 diabetes (4) while another detailed
just how well consuming fruits and vegetables improved
memory and attention, especially in children’s immediate
recall after comsuming blueberries while older adults need a
higher dose of both to attain as significant an
improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound found in
blueberries is one that may assist 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 good! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
