What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Pensacola chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not less than daily is it
that your Pensacola chiropractor isn’t treating spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that demands oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals for its ability to avoid
degenerative change. Let us study how Pensacola
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and develop
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite receptive to nutrition and Pensacola
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during Pensacola degenerative disc disease
creates a decrease in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (also called apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and ultimately, the loss
of disc function. Aging sees a significant drop
in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the whole
disc. These changes give an appreciation of the possible
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic methods
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center takes note
of this to help
Pensacola chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate important for
the health of your Pensacola disc and its ability to fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. Pensacola
inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate does not have the unfavorable side effects
of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can injure
organs such as the liver, heart and kidneys. (2) A source of chondroitin
sulfate is from human umbilical cord which is shown to restore the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are placed
in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid has chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical making up the
intervertebral disc. (3) Also of curiosity is a study showing positive outcomes using
vitamins B12, 1, and 6 in treating arm and leg pain due to intervertebral disc
degeneration and herniation. (4) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Pensacola chiropractic patients describe
this as valuable adjunct
to their Pensacola chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of Pensacola chiropractic nutrition
is further revealed when joined
with Pensacola chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation displayed that it influenced
disc physiology mainly through water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center comprehends the combined
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Pensacola spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of Pensacola disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Pensacola chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed
that chiropractic may improve the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by regulating
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
