What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Manchester chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not less than daily is it
that your Manchester chiropractor isn’t working
with spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that requires oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals for its ability to escape
degenerative change. Let’s consider how Manchester
chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite receptive to nutrition and Manchester
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during Manchester 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 ultimately, the loss
of disc function. Aging sees a significant decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration takes place throughout the whole
disc. These changes offer an appreciation of the possible
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the development of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries passes this information along to
Manchester chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate important for
the health of your Manchester disc and its capability to fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for taking care of osteoarthritis and low back pain. Manchester
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 harm
organs such as the liver, heart and kidneys. (2) A source of chondroitin
sulfate is from human umbilical cord which is revealed to reestablish the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are placed
in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid comprises 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries offers a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula incorporating the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Manchester chiropractic patients describe
this as valuable addition
to their Manchester chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Manchester chiropractic nutrition
is additionally shown when combined
with Manchester chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed that it influenced
disc physiology mainly through water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understands the joint
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Manchester spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of Manchester disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Manchester 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 adjusting
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
