What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor is not working
with spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that requires oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals in order for it to escape
degenerative change. Let’s consider how Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite receptive to nutrition and Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Burlington and Hamilton degenerative disc disease
results in a reduction 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 sees a significant drop
in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration takes place throughout the whole
disc. These changes offer an appreciation of the possible
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the development of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Spinal Care Clinic takes note
of this to help
Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Burlington and Hamilton 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. Burlington and Hamilton
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 harm
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 placed
in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid comprises 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) Spinal Care Clinic offers 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. Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic patients describe
this as a beneficial addition
to their Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic nutrition
is further shown when coupled
with Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation displayed that it guided
disc physiology primarily through water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Spinal Care Clinic understands the joint
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Burlington and Hamilton spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Spinal Care Clinic
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of Burlington and Hamilton disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation. The
effects of Burlington and Hamilton 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 controlling
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
