Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge

February 06, 2018

What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your Baton Rouge chiropractor is well acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your Baton Rouge chiropractor isn’t treating spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism that demands oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and minerals in order for it to evade degenerative change. Let’s consider how Baton Rouge chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and improve the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive and quite receptive to nutrition and Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment.

THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION

The depletion of chondroitin sulfate  within the intervertebral disc during Baton Rouge degenerative disc disease creates 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 drop in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc structure. This degeneration happens throughout the whole disc. These changes contribute to an appreciation of the possible influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and the development of therapeutic approaches for disc regeneration and repair.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Not only is chondroitin sulfate important 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 doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. Baton Rouge 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 bring back the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are placed in this umbilical fluid called Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly this disc cell restorative fluid comprises 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) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers offers 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 reduce inflammation. Baton Rouge chiropractic patients find this an advantageous addition to their Baton Rouge chiropractic care.

SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION

The value of Baton Rouge chiropractic nutrition is additionally revealed when combined with Baton Rouge 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) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers understands the joint importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with Baton Rouge spinal manipulation to influence dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
