Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge

February 06, 2018

What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor is not treating spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism that demands oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and minerals for its ability to avoid degenerative change. Let’s look at how Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and improve the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive and quite receptive to nutrition and Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment.

HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE

The reduction of chondroitin sulfate  inside the intervertebral disc during Ashburn and Herndon degenerative disc disease creates a decrease 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 (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc structure. This degeneration happens throughout the entire disc. These changes give an appreciation of the potential impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and the development of therapeutic approaches for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn takes note of this to help Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic disc degeneration patients.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for the health of your Ashburn and Herndon disc and its capability to fight degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. Ashburn and Herndon inflammation plays a role in 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 revealed to bring back the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are put in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly this disc cell restorative fluid has chondroitin sulfate which is the chemical forming the intervertebral disc. (3) Also of interest 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 offers a high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly contains chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb formula containing the B vitamins to lower inflammation. Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients describe this as an advantageous adjunct to their Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care.

SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION

The value of Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic nutrition is further revealed when combined with Ashburn and Herndon 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 comprehends the joint importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with Ashburn and Herndon spinal manipulation to influence diffusion 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 puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic protocols in the treatment and prevention of Ashburn and Herndon disc degeneration and its resultant disc herniation. The effects of Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed that chiropractic may improve the degeneration in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by controlling the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic enzymes.
