“Oh, I don’t think I can do that. My back’s acting up today.” This declaration isn’t just announced by the older person. Young people say it, too, and not just to get out of work or cleaning the house!
Disc degeneration arises in the young and the older person. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows that young people with degenerative disc disease report more severe lower back pain symptoms. (2) 80% of both older and younger people with disc degeneration have a loss of glucose inside the disc which results in cell death. (1) Not good when your discs are degenerating! But, don’t let the statistics alarm you. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc offers chiropractic care and treatment plans to help its Fort Wayne patients find pain relief.
Though degenerative disc disease was found in a third of young people who reported no back pain, those who had more pain also had more disc degeneration. That makes sense! It also presents that the pain they feel is probably due to the disc itself. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc helps discs!
Now, the disc in the spine needs nutrients it gets from surrounding blood vessels to stay healthy. A degenerated disc is deformed and loses its nutrient content. Poor nutrition leads to disc degeneration and results in pain. Fort Wayne’s chiropractic treatment relieves pain for many Fort Wayne residents who battle the effects of disc degeneration and degenerative disc disease with gentle chiropractic care.
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc’s chiropractor uses gentle, non-force chiropractic adjusting, like Cox Technic, to reduce inflammation, improve spinal motion and promote the nutritional flow from the blood supply to the disc.
