San Jose Osteoarthritis Benefits from Chiropractic Care
Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your San Jose chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of San Jose back pain and spine-related pain sufferers along with San Jose knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain rises, a decrease in beneficial nutrients often follows. Luckily, chiropractic care options at Chiropractic Solutions like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are protective and relieving.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro refers to cartilage while protective means, well, protective. When it comes to musculoskeletal pain like San Joseback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are valuable. In recent studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been cited. More specifically in one study, glucosamine exhibited a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by blocking type II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation related to cartilage metabolism rose. (1) Chiropractic Solutions encourages exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism as this article describes.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis indications, too. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been studied and recorded to slow the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee in many well-done research projects. (2) Chondroprotectors - biological agents that enhance the regeneration of the cartilage surface and joint capsule and participate in articular cartilage metabolism – work when there is a reduction in chondroitin sulfate and progressive loss of hyaline cartilage as seen in osteoarthritis in addition to low back pain. The aim of osteoarthritis treatment is to reduce its progression, ease its pain, and improve any reduced function.

CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS
At Chiropractic Solutions, chiropractic care combines a variety of approaches to lessen pain and protect the body’s joints and cartilage. Spinal manipulation is the anticipated chiropractic treatment approach while a reworking of its distractive principles has been applied to the knee for relief of osteoarthritis knee pain.
