What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Carrolltown chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your Carrolltown chiropractor is not caring for spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that needs oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals for its ability to avoid
degenerative change. Let’s study how Carrolltown
chiropractic guided nutrition can alleviate and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite receptive to nutrition and Carrolltown
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during Carrolltown degenerative disc disease
creates a decrease in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (aka apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and finally, the loss
of disc function. Aging experiences 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
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the expansion of therapeutic methods
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation notes this to help
Carrolltown chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Carrolltown disc and its capability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. Carrolltown
inflammation influences 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 revealed to reestablish the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are put
in this umbilical fluid called Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid contains chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical forming the
intervertebral disc. (3) Also of interest 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) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically has
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula incorporating the B vitamins to lower
inflammation. Carrolltown chiropractic patients find this an advantageous adjunct
to their Carrolltown chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of Carrolltown chiropractic nutrition
is additionally revealed when joined
with Carrolltown chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed that it influenced
disc physiology mainly via water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation understands the combined
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Carrolltown spinal manipulation to influence
dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of Carrolltown disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Carrolltown chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed
that chiropractic may enhance the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by regulating
the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic
enzymes. (6)
