What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Minster chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your Minster chiropractor is not treating spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that demands oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals for its ability to evade
degenerative change. Let’s study how Minster
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and develop
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite responsive to nutrition and Minster
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Minster degenerative disc disease
creates a reduction 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 takes place throughout the entire
disc. These changes offer an appreciation of the potential
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the development of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center notes this to help
Minster chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Minster disc and its capability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. Minster
inflammation influences 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 shown to restore 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 creating 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) Minster Chiropractic 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. Minster chiropractic patients find this an advantageous adjunct
to their Minster chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of Minster chiropractic nutrition
is further revealed when joined
with Minster chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed that it affected
disc physiology mostly via water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Minster Chiropractic Center understands the joint
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Minster spinal manipulation to affect
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Minster Chiropractic Center
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 Minster disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation. The
effects of Minster 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)
