What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Pflugerville chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your Pflugerville 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 evade
degenerative change. Let’s study how Pflugerville
chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite responsive to nutrition and Pflugerville
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during Pflugerville degenerative disc disease
results in a decrease in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (also called apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and finally, the loss
of disc function. Aging sees a significant decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the whole
disc. These changes contribute to an appreciation of the possible
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Pflugerville Wellness Center notes this to help
Pflugerville chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Pflugerville disc and its capability to fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. Pflugerville
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 damage
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 known as Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid has 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) Pflugerville Wellness Center makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly has
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to lower
inflammation. Pflugerville chiropractic patients find this an advantageous addition
to their Pflugerville chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of Pflugerville chiropractic nutrition
is further revealed when joined
with Pflugerville chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed 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) Pflugerville Wellness Center comprehends the combined
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Pflugerville spinal manipulation to affect
dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Pflugerville Wellness Center
is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of Pflugerville disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation. The
effects of Pflugerville chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed
that chiropractic may better the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by adjusting
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
