What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your New Roads chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your New Roads chiropractor isn’t working
with spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that requires oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals in order for it to avoid
degenerative change. Let us study how New Roads
chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite responsive to nutrition and New Roads
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during New Roads degenerative disc disease
results in a decrease 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 experiences a significant decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the whole
disc. These changes offer an appreciation of the potential
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the development of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) New Roads Chiropractic Center passes this information along to
New Roads chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your New Roads disc and its ability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. New Roads
inflammation plays a role in 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 reestablish the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are put
in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid has chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical creating 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) New Roads Chiropractic Center 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 lower
inflammation. New Roads chiropractic patients find this an advantageous adjunct
to their New Roads chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of New Roads chiropractic nutrition
is additionally shown when coupled
with New Roads chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed that it affected
disc physiology mostly through water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) New Roads Chiropractic Center understands the joint
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with New Roads spinal manipulation to affect
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. New Roads Chiropractic Center
is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of New Roads disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of New Roads 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 relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
