What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your San Jose chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your San Jose chiropractor isn’t treating spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that demands oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals in order for it to escape
degenerative change. Let us study how San Jose
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite responsive to nutrition and San Jose
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during San Jose 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 finally, 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 offer an appreciation of the potential
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the expansion of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) McMurray Chiropractic Solutions notes this to help
San Jose chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your San Jose disc and its capability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. San Jose
inflammation influences disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate doesn’t have the adverse 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 restore 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 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) McMurray Chiropractic Solutions makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula incorporating the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. San Jose chiropractic patients find this valuable adjunct
to their San Jose chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of San Jose chiropractic nutrition
is further revealed when combined
with San Jose chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation displayed that it guided
disc physiology primarily through water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) McMurray Chiropractic Solutions understands the combined
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with San Jose spinal manipulation to affect
dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions
is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of San Jose disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of San Jose chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed
that chiropractic may improve the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by controlling
the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
