What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Ashburn chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not less than daily is it
that your Ashburn chiropractor isn’t 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 evade
degenerative change. Let’s study how Ashburn
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite receptive to nutrition and Ashburn
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Ashburn degenerative disc disease
results in a decrease in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (also called apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and finally, the loss
of disc function. Aging experiences a significant drop
in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the whole
disc. These changes contribute to an appreciation of the possible
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn takes note
of this to help
Ashburn chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate important for
the health of your Ashburn disc and its ability to fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. Ashburn
inflammation influences disc health status. Chondroitin
sulfate doesn’t 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 placed
in this umbilical fluid called Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly
this disc cell restorative fluid contains chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical forming 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically has
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula incorporating the B vitamins to lower
inflammation. Ashburn chiropractic patients describe
this as valuable addition
to their Ashburn chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The value of Ashburn chiropractic nutrition
is additionally shown when coupled
with Ashburn 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands the joint
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Ashburn spinal manipulation to affect
dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of Ashburn disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Ashburn chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed
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)
