What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Baton Rouge chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not less than daily is it
that your Baton Rouge chiropractor isn’t caring for spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that needs oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals in order for it 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 sensitive
and quite receptive to nutrition and Baton Rouge
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Baton Rouge degenerative disc disease
results in a decrease in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (also called apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and ultimately, the loss
of disc function. Aging sees a significant drop
in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration takes place throughout the whole
disc. These changes give an appreciation of the possible
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Spine & Sports Rehab Center 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 fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. Baton Rouge
inflammation influences disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate does not have the unfavorable side effects
of non–steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can injure
organs such as the liver, heart and kidneys. (2) A source of chondroitin
sulfate is from human umbilical cord which is shown to bring
back the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are placed
in this umbilical fluid called Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid has 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) Spine & Sports Rehab Center 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 lower
inflammation. Baton Rouge chiropractic patients find this valuable addition
to their Baton Rouge chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of Baton Rouge chiropractic nutrition
is further revealed when joined
with Baton Rouge chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed that it guided
disc physiology primarily via water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Spine & Sports Rehab Center understands the joint
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Baton Rouge spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Spine & Sports Rehab Center
is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic procedures
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 enhance the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by controlling
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
