What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your
spine? Your La Grande chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your La Grande chiropractor is not treating spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism
that demands oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and
minerals in order for it to evade
degenerative change. Let’s study how La Grande
chiropractic guided nutrition can alleviate and improve
the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive
and quite responsive to nutrition and La Grande
chiropractic treatment.
HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate within the
intervertebral disc during La Grande degenerative disc disease
results in a reduction in tissue hydration, a loss
of fluid movement, cell death (also called apoptosis), a loss
of nerve growth inhibition and finally, the loss
of disc function. Aging experiences a significant decrease
in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc
structure. This degeneration takes place throughout the whole
disc. These changes contribute to an appreciation of the possible
impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and
the development of therapeutic methods
for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC passes this information along to
La Grande chiropractic disc degeneration patients.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate important for
the health of your La Grande disc and its ability to resist
degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug
for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. La Grande
inflammation influences 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 revealed to reestablish the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are put
in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly
this disc cell restorative fluid contains chondroitin
sulfate which is the chemical creating the
intervertebral disc. (3) Also of interest 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) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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 reduce
inflammation. La Grande chiropractic patients find this valuable adjunct
to their La Grande chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of La Grande chiropractic nutrition
is additionally revealed when joined
with La Grande chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological
effects of spinal manipulation displayed that it affected
disc physiology mostly through water flow via
water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for
the health of the disc. (5) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC comprehends the combined
importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement
and daily multivitamin with La Grande spinal manipulation to affect
diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic procedures
in the treatment and prevention of La Grande disc degeneration and its
subsequent disc herniation. The
effects of La Grande chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and
metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed
that chiropractic may improve the degeneration in rats
with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by adjusting
the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic
enzymes. (6)
