What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Baton Rouge chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your Baton Rouge chiropractor is not 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 Baton Rouge
chiropractic guided nutrition can alleviate and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite responsive to nutrition and Baton Rouge
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Baton Rouge degenerative disc disease
creates a decrease in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (aka 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 contribute to 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) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation passes this information along to
Baton Rouge chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Baton Rouge disc and its capability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for taking care of osteoarthritis and low back pain. Baton Rouge
inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate does not 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 put
in this umbilical fluid called 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) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly has
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula incorporating the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Baton Rouge chiropractic patients find this a beneficial adjunct
to their Baton Rouge chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Baton Rouge chiropractic nutrition
is additionally shown when joined
with Baton Rouge chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed that it influenced
disc physiology mainly via water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation comprehends the joint
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Baton Rouge spinal manipulation to affect
dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of Baton Rouge disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Baton Rouge chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed
that chiropractic may better the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by adjusting
the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic
enzymes. (6)
