What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Millville chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your Millville chiropractor isn’t working
with spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that requires oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals for its ability to escape
degenerative change. Let’s consider how Millville
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and develop
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite responsive to nutrition and Millville
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Millville 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 finally, the loss
of disc function. Aging experiences a significant decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration takes place 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) Wilson Family Chiropractic takes note
of this to help
Millville chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Millville disc and its ability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. Millville
inflammation influences disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate doesn’t 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 bring
back the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are placed
in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly
this disc cell restorative fluid comprises chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical forming 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) Wilson Family Chiropractic offers a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically has
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Millville chiropractic patients find this a beneficial addition
to their Millville chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of Millville chiropractic nutrition
is further shown when coupled
with Millville 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) Wilson Family Chiropractic understands the joint
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Millville spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Wilson Family Chiropractic
is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of Millville disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation. The
effects of Millville chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed
that chiropractic may enhance the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by regulating
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
