Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge

What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is well acquainted with them! Not less than daily is it that your Fort Wayne chiropractor isn’t caring for spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism that needs oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and minerals for its ability to avoid degenerative change. Let us look at how Fort Wayne chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and develop the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive and quite responsive to nutrition and Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment.

THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION

The reduction of chondroitin sulfate  inside the intervertebral disc during Fort Wayne degenerative disc disease creates a reduction 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 takes place throughout the entire disc. These changes offer an appreciation of the possible influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and the growth of therapeutic approaches for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc takes note of this to help Fort Wayne chiropractic disc degeneration patients.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for the health of your Fort Wayne disc and its capability to fight degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug for taking care of osteoarthritis and low back pain. Fort Wayne inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin sulfate doesn’t have the adverse side effects of non–steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can injure 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 placed in this umbilical fluid called Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly this disc cell restorative fluid comprises 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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc offers a high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically contains chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb formula incorporating the B vitamins to lower inflammation. Fort Wayne chiropractic patients describe this as valuable addition to their Fort Wayne chiropractic care.

SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION

The value of Fort Wayne chiropractic nutrition is additionally revealed when joined with Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological effects of spinal manipulation displayed that it guided disc physiology primarily through water flow via water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for the health of the disc. (5) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc understands the combined importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with Fort Wayne spinal manipulation to affect diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 Fort Wayne disc degeneration and its resultant disc herniation. The effects of Fort Wayne chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed that chiropractic may better the degeneration in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by regulating the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic enzymes.
