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 Fort Wayne chiropractor! - are in progress and leaning in that direction! A new study was just released that recorded the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous process gapping - the alteration in distance between the spinous processes as they gap - during Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation. (1) Cox® Technic is so precise a treatment protocol that specific segment motion can be provoked. Say, for a patient who has pain with an L5-S1 disc herniation, biomechanical studies have shown 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 Aaron Chiropractic Clinic helps ease back pain and leg pain so our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients can return to their normal activities of daily living! Some day, technology may even allow 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 documented benefits of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

Blueberries for Weight Control, Mood, Memory, and More!

Flavonoids – polyphenolic compounds that make fruits and vegetables colorful – are well-known for being antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging as well as effective in improving 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, especially in children’s immediate recall after eating blueberries while older adults need a higher dose of both to get as noteworthy an improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound from blueberries is one that may help the management of obesity and mental well-being. (6) Eating wild blueberries showed better mental affect and executive function after a single dose of blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are great! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
