What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Groton chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your Groton 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 escape
degenerative change. Let us look at how Groton
chiropractic guided nutrition can alleviate and develop
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite receptive to nutrition and Groton
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Groton degenerative disc disease
results in a reduction in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (aka apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and finally, the loss
of disc function. Aging sees a significant decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (known as 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 approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office notes this to help
Groton chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate important for
the health of your Groton disc and its capability to fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. Groton
inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate doesn’t have the unfavorable 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 called Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly
this disc cell restorative fluid contains chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical making up 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) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically has
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula incorporating the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Groton chiropractic patients describe
this as valuable adjunct
to their Groton chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Groton chiropractic nutrition
is further revealed when combined
with Groton 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) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understands the combined
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Groton spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of Groton disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Groton chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed
that chiropractic may enhance the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by regulating
the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic
enzymes. (6)
