A one-tract mind on back pain relief. Yes!
We chiropractors seem single-focused at times, don’t we? Spine
pain relief! Chiropractors really learn all we can about back
pain, neck pain, spine pain and its diagnosis and treatment to ease
pain. Your West Des Moines chiropractor is very
focused on helping our patients. A new paper that addressed
how chondroitin sulfate may help our diabetic osteoporotic patients
really caught our attention! Nutrition and manipulation (and a bit
of exercise!) go hand in hand for spine pain relief. Following
is the latest on chondroitin sulfate, B vitamins, and spine
nutritional health, all elements of the overall
treatment plan for spine pain relief with the Cox® Technic System.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE
We’ve known much about chondroitin sulfate’s benefit for disc cartilage for some time. New research is demonstrating its ability to mend bone microstructure and ease
diabetic osteoporosis after 8- and 10-weeks of use. Of course,
the reports were done with rats, but
the transfer of information is exciting. The
anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating benefits
are leading researchers to find dietary
interventions to help, too. Bone mineral density improvement was seen,
too. (1) Chondroitin sulfate is a key
inclusion in the chiropractic nutritional treatment of West Des Moines back
pain.
B VITAMINS
Now, B vitamins, long recognized for
their benefits for immunity, nervous system, and more, are now
written about their help for back pain and musculoskeletal
conditions. Combined use of thiamine, pyridoxine, and
cyanocobalamin has pain-decreasing effects due to
their neuropathic and nociceptive effects via to their
anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory action.
(2) Those are quite worthy benefits! Another study
described the effective treatment of NSAIDs and B vitamins for improving general
well-being and heightening the quality of sleep by the 10th day of treatment observation of patients suffering
with acute lumbar dorsalgia (back pain). (3) West Des Moines chiropractic
care of back pain includes nutritional options
along with gentle spinal manipulation as described in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management.
