A one-tract mind on back pain relief. Yes!
Do we chiropractors seem to be single-focused on back
pain? Many of us are! Chiropractors study back
pain, neck pain, spine pain and its diagnosis and treatment to alleviate
pain. Your La Grande chiropractor is very
focused on helping our patients. A new paper that addressed
how chondroitin sulfate may help our diabetic osteoporotic patients
really caught our attention! Nutrition and manipulation (and a little exercise!) go hand in hand for spine pain relief. Here
is the most revent on chondroitin sulfate, B vitamins, and spine
nutritional health, all parts of the general
treatment plan for spine pain relief with the Cox® Technic System.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE
We’ve known a
lot about chondroitin sulfate’s benefit for disc cartilage for a
long time. Innovative research is sharing new details
about its ability to repair bone microstructure and alleviate
diabetic osteoporosis after 8- and 10-weeks of use. Of course,
the reports utilized rats, but
the transfer of knowledge is exciting. The
anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating benefits
are leading researchers to discover dietary
interventions to help, too. Bone mineral density improvement was seen,
too. (1) Chondroitin sulfate is a key
addition to the chiropractic nutritional treatment of La Grande back
pain.
B VITAMINS
And B vitamins, long known for
their advantages for immunity, nervous system, and more, are now
reported for their help for back pain and musculoskeletal
conditions. A combination of thiamine, pyridoxine, and
cyanocobalamin has pain-reducing effects because of
their neuropathic and nociceptive effects due to their
anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory action.
(2) Those are quite valuable benefits! Another report
presented how treatment
with NSAIDs and B vitamins proved effective for improving general
well-being and increasing in the quality of sleep by the 10th day of treatment observation of sufferers
with acute lumbar dorsalgia (back pain). (3) La Grande chiropractic
care of back pain incorporates nutritional options
alongside gentle spinal manipulation as outlined in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management.
