What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your McHenry chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not less than daily is it
that your McHenry 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 consider how McHenry
chiropractic guided nutrition can alleviate and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite receptive to nutrition and McHenry
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during McHenry 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 entire
disc. These changes contribute to an appreciation of the possible
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic passes this information along to
McHenry chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your McHenry disc and its capability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. McHenry
inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate doesn’t have the adverse 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 restore the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are placed
in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid contains 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) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to lower
inflammation. McHenry chiropractic patients find this an advantageous adjunct
to their McHenry chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of McHenry chiropractic nutrition
is additionally revealed when joined
with McHenry chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed 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) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic comprehends the combined
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with McHenry spinal manipulation to influence
dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic
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 McHenry disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation. The
effects of McHenry 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 adjusting
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
