A one-tract mind on back pain relief. Yes!
We chiropractors seem single-focused at times, don’t we? Spine
pain relief! Chiropractors study back
pain, neck pain, spine pain and its diagnosis and treatment to ease
pain. Your Sandy Springs chiropractor is very
focused on helping our patients. A new paper that addressed
how chondroitin sulfate may help our diabetic osteoporotic patients
really got our attention! Nutrition and manipulation (and a little exercise!) go together for spine pain relief. Following
is the latest on chondroitin sulfate, B vitamins, and spine
nutritional health, all elements of the general
treatment plan for spine pain relief with the Cox® Technic System.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE
We have learned much about chondroitin sulfate’s benefit for disc cartilage for some time. New research is sharing new details
about its ability to repair bone microstructure and alleviate
diabetic osteoporosis after 8- and 10-weeks of use. Granted,
the studies were done with rats, but
the transfer of information is exciting. The
anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating advantages
are guiding researchers to find dietary
interventions to help, too. Bone mineral density improvement was also found. (1) Chondroitin sulfate is a valuable
addition to the chiropractic nutritional treatment of Sandy Springs back
pain.
B VITAMINS
Now, B vitamins, long recognized for
their benefits for immunity, nervous system, and more, are now
reported for their help for back pain and musculoskeletal
conditions. A combination of thiamine, pyridoxine, and
cyanocobalamin has pain-decreasing effects due to
their neuropathic and nociceptive effects as a result of to their
anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory action.
(2) Those are quite helpful benefits! Another report
presented how treatment
with NSAIDs and B vitamins proved effective for improving general
well-being and heightening the quality of sleep by the 10th day of treatment observation of patients suffering
with acute lumbar dorsalgia (back pain). (3) Sandy Springs chiropractic
care of back pain includes nutritional approaches
alongside gentle spinal manipulation as outlined in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management.
