Arthritis becomes part of almost everyone's vocabulary at some point in life and is a big potion of our daily routine at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn. Degeneration of cartilage in the knees and spine affects many Ashburn and Herndon-residents without fail, but there is hope. Chiropractic care and nutrition may well be your winning combination to low back pain and arthritis pain relief.

In Ashburn and Herndon, chiropractic non-surgical spinal manipulation with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn addresses the mechanical irritation of arthritis gently and safely. Distraction is even documented to reverse disc degeneration! (1) Furthermore, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands the nutritional aspect of arthritis. Arthritis is an inflammatory change or traumatic change to a joint which reduces joint space and fluid loss. Pain results as spinal openings narrow, making the spinal nerves vulnerable to irritation. Reducing inflammation and rehydrating disc cartilage can definitely help.

The spine's cushion-like discs act like shock absorbers between the vertebral bones in the spinal column. Akin to the cartilage found in your knees, they require the proper nutrients to stay healthy. Chondroitin sulfate is good food for the disc. Long-term use of chondroitin sulfate prevents progression of osteoarthritis especially in knee arthritis. (2)

Disc nutrition is well-researched. A well-documented source for chondroitin sulfate is perna canaliculus -"the single most effective preparation ever encountered for the treatment of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis." (3) A green-lipped mussel grown off the coast of New Zealand- persons with shellfish allergies need to be aware - perna canaliculus is a highly regarded source of chondroitin sulfate which has "genuine anti-inflammatory effects."
