What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your West Des Moines chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your West Des Moines chiropractor is not 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 avoid
degenerative change. Let’s study how West Des Moines
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and develop
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite receptive to nutrition and West Des Moines
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during West Des Moines degenerative disc disease
creates a decrease 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 happens throughout the whole
disc. These changes give an appreciation of the possible
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the development of therapeutic methods
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa takes note
of this to help
West Des Moines chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your West Des Moines disc and its capability to fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. West Des Moines
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 damage
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 put
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 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) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. West Des Moines chiropractic patients describe
this as an advantageous adjunct
to their West Des Moines chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of West Des Moines chiropractic nutrition
is additionally revealed when coupled
with West Des Moines 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) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa comprehends the joint
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with West Des Moines spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of West Des Moines disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation. The
effects of West Des Moines chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed
that chiropractic may better the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by adjusting
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
