What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your Toronto chiropractor is well
acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your Toronto chiropractor is not working
with spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that requires oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals for its ability to avoid
degenerative change. Let’s study how Toronto
chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and develop
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite responsive to nutrition and Toronto
chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during Toronto 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 ultimately, the loss
of disc function. Aging experiences a significant decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration happens throughout the entire
disc. These changes contribute to an appreciation of the potential
influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the growth of therapeutic approaches
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre takes note
of this to help
Toronto chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for
the health of your Toronto 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. Toronto
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 injure
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 placed
in this umbilical fluid called Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly
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) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre makes available a
high-quality disc nutritional supplement that specifically has
chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb
formula containing the B vitamins to lower
inflammation. Toronto chiropractic patients describe
this as an advantageous adjunct
to their Toronto chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of Toronto chiropractic nutrition
is further shown when combined
with Toronto chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation showed that it affected
disc physiology mostly via water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre understands the joint
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with Toronto spinal manipulation to affect
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study highlights the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of Toronto disc degeneration and its
resultant disc herniation in good perspective. The
effects of Toronto chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed
that chiropractic may better the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by adjusting
the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic
enzymes. (6)
