What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Sandy Springs chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your Sandy Springs chiropractor is not 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 look at how Sandy Springs
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate
and quite receptive to nutrition and Sandy Springs
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate inside the
intervertebral disc during Sandy Springs degenerative disc disease
results in a reduction in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (also called apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and ultimately, the loss
of disc function. Aging sees a significant drop
in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the entire
disc. These changes contribute to an appreciation of the possible
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the expansion of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Cross Chiropractic Center shares

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Sandy Springs disc and its ability to fight
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for taking care of osteoarthritis and low back pain. Sandy Springs
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 shown to reestablish the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are put
in this umbilical fluid called Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly
this disc cell restorative fluid contains chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical creating 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) Cross Chiropractic Center offers a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly contains
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula incorporating the B vitamins to reduce
inflammation. Sandy Springs chiropractic patients describe
this as a beneficial addition
to their Sandy Springs chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Sandy Springs chiropractic nutrition
is additionally revealed when combined
with Sandy Springs 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) Cross Chiropractic Center comprehends the combined
importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Sandy Springs spinal manipulation to influence
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Cross Chiropractic Center
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic protocols
in the treatment and prevention of Sandy Springs disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation. The
effects of Sandy Springs 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 relevant metabolic
enzymes. (6)
