READY TO SEE YOUR SPINE MOVE?! Exciting Possibility!

Ever wanted to see your spine move under your chiropractor’s hand? Exciting studies – at least to your Oxford chiropractor! - are underway leading in that direction! A new study was just distributed that documented the reliability of ultrasound measurement of spinous process separation - the change 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 activity can be prompted. 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% allotting a herniated disc spavce to not physically irritate 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 Satterwhite Chiropractic helps reduce back pain and leg pain so our Oxford chiropractic patients can return to their normal activities of daily living! One day, technology may even permit us, you and your chiropractor, to visualize the changes as they are happening. 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.

Oxford 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 effective in improving cardiovascular health and increasing memory. A recent study added to this list by noting that the more one eats flavonoid-rich foods, the lower the risk one has of having type 2 diabetes (4) while another noted just how well eating fruits and vegetables improved memory and attention, especially in children’s immediate recall after eating blueberries while older adults need a higher dose of both to get as significant an improvement. (5) And lastly, the pterostilbene compound from blueberries is one that may assist the management of obesity and mental well-being. (6) Eating wild blueberries exhibited better mental affect and executive function after one dose of blueberries in adults with depressive symptoms. (7) Blueberries are so healthy! Enjoy some today as part of your nutrition plan!
