Baton Rouge Chiropractic Care of Baton Rouge Degenerated Discs Starts with Understanding and Nutritional Protection
We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal discs age. Now, there’s something your Baton Rouge chiropractor can do something about though! Spinal discs show aging once they start degenerating. Disc degeneration in a Baton Rouge spine may first be exposed when there is some back pain. Sometimes, disc degeneration goes disregarded until years later. New research reveals that disc degeneration for any of us in Baton Rouge may begin as early as the teen years. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is all about relieving any pain and averting any degeneration possible with nutrition and Baton Rouge chiropractic care.
Baton Rouge DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th Decades of Life
In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification differentiates levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is really bad degeneration. Researchers examined the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is very usual in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It is stated to be “natural” to find that disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That means that disc degeneration begins in the teen years of life!? Does that shock any of our Baton Rouge chiropractic patients? Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is not shocked, necessarily, but Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is ready to treat the teen Baton Rouge back pain sufferer.

WHAT TO DO
Feed your discs early and often. Disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life! More and more news is published about the value of nutrition. Two influential nutrients for discs are chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate. These two sulfates feed the disc and potentially prevent degeneration and even promote regeneration of the disc’s cartilage. Ask your Baton Rouge chiropractor for more details. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers favors preventative care any time possible!
