What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Williamson chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not less than daily is it
that your Williamson 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 evade
degenerative change. Let’s study how Williamson
chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and develop
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite receptive to nutrition and Williamson
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during Williamson degenerative disc disease
creates a reduction 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 decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the whole
disc. These changes give an appreciation of the possible
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Apple Country Chiropractic takes note
of this to help
Williamson chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Williamson disc and its capability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. Williamson
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 restore 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 making up 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) Apple Country Chiropractic makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Williamson chiropractic patients find this an advantageous addition
to their Williamson chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Williamson chiropractic nutrition
is additionally revealed when combined
with Williamson 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) Apple Country Chiropractic understands the combined
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Williamson spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Apple Country Chiropractic
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of Williamson disc degeneration and its
ensuing disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Williamson 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 related metabolic
enzymes. (6)
