Satterwhite Chiropractic Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge

February 06, 2018

What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your Oxford chiropractor is well acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your Oxford 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 escape degenerative change. Let us look at how Oxford chiropractic guided nutrition can ease and improve the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is sensitive and quite receptive to nutrition and Oxford chiropractic treatment.

THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION

The depletion of chondroitin sulfate  inside the intervertebral disc during Oxford degenerative disc disease creates a decrease 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 (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc structure. This degeneration takes place throughout the whole disc. These changes give an appreciation of the possible influence of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and the development of therapeutic approaches for disc regeneration and repair.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for the health of your Oxford disc and its capability to resist degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug for doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. Oxford inflammation influences disc health status. Chondroitin sulfate doesn’t have the adverse side effects of non–steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can harm 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 put 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) Satterwhite Chiropractic offers 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. Oxford chiropractic patients describe this as a beneficial adjunct to their Oxford chiropractic care.

SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION

The value of Oxford chiropractic nutrition is further revealed when joined with Oxford chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological effects of spinal manipulation showed that it guided disc physiology primarily via water flow via water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for the health of the disc. (5) Satterwhite Chiropractic understands the combined importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with Oxford spinal manipulation to affect diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Satterwhite Chiropractic 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 Oxford disc degeneration and its subsequent disc herniation. The effects of Oxford 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 relevant metabolic enzymes.
