What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Severna Park chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your Severna Park chiropractor isn’t caring for spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that needs oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals in order for it to avoid
degenerative change. Let’s study how Severna Park
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite responsive to nutrition and Severna Park
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Severna Park degenerative disc disease
results in a reduction 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 decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the entire
disc. These changes offer an appreciation of the potential
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic methods
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Back And Neck Care Center passes this information along to
Severna Park chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate important for
the health of your Severna Park disc and its ability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for taking care of osteoarthritis and low back pain. Severna Park
inflammation influences disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate doesn’t have the unfavorable side effects
of non–steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can damage
organs such as the liver, heart and kidneys. (2) A source of chondroitin
sulfate is from human umbilical cord which is shown to bring
back 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 creating 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) Back And Neck Care Center makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Severna Park chiropractic patients find this an advantageous addition
to their Severna Park chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Severna Park chiropractic nutrition
is additionally shown when coupled
with Severna Park chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation displayed that it affected
disc physiology mostly through water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Back And Neck Care Center comprehends the joint
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Severna Park spinal manipulation to influence
dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Back And Neck Care Center
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of Severna Park disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation. The
effects of Severna Park 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 related metabolic
enzymes. (6)
