Vancouver Disc Centers Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge
What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your Vancouver chiropractor is well acquainted with them! Not less than daily is it that your Vancouver chiropractor is not caring for spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism that needs oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and minerals in order for it to avoid degenerative change. Let us look at how Vancouver chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and improve the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate and quite receptive to nutrition and Vancouver chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate within the intervertebral disc during Vancouver degenerative disc disease results in a reduction in tissue hydration, a loss of fluid movement, cell death (aka apoptosis), a loss of nerve growth inhibition and ultimately, the loss of disc function. Aging sees a significant decrease in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc structure. This degeneration takes place 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 methods for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers notes this to help Vancouver chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for the health of your Vancouver disc and its capability to resist degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug for taking care of osteoarthritis and low back pain. Vancouver inflammation influences disc health status. Chondroitin sulfate does not 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 placed in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Interestingly this disc cell restorative fluid contains 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) Vancouver Disc Centers makes available a high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly has chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb formula containing the B vitamins to reduce inflammation. Vancouver chiropractic patients find this a beneficial addition to their Vancouver chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Vancouver chiropractic nutrition is further shown when coupled with Vancouver chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological effects of spinal manipulation showed that it influenced disc physiology mainly via water flow via water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for the health of the disc. (5) Vancouver Disc Centers understands the joint importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with Vancouver spinal manipulation to affect diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Vancouver Disc Centers is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic procedures in the treatment and prevention of Vancouver disc degeneration and its subsequent disc herniation. The effects of Vancouver chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed 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.
