Oxford Chiropractic Care of Oxford Degenerated Discs Starts with Understanding and Nutritional Protection

We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal discs age. Now, there’s something your Oxford chiropractor can help with though! Spinal discs show aging after they start degenerating. Disc degeneration in a Oxford spine may first be revealed once there is some back pain. Sometimes, disc degeneration proceeds unnoticed until years afterward. New research reveals that disc degeneration for any of us in Oxford may begin as early as the teen years. Satterwhite Chiropractic is all about easing any pain and averting any degeneration possible with nutrition and Oxford chiropractic care.

Oxford DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th Decades of Life

In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification differentiates levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is really bad degeneration. Researchers examined the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is most usual in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It’s stated to be “natural” to find that disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That means that disc degeneration starts in the teen years of life!? Does that shock any of our Oxford chiropractic patients? Satterwhite Chiropractic isn’t shocked, necessarily, but Satterwhite Chiropractic is ready to help the teen Oxford back pain sufferer. Do any Oxford teens live at home with you? Do they ever talk about experiencing back pain or neck pain?

Oxford DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 6th Decade of Life

Grade 4 was more usual in the sixth decade of life. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic treats many older patients with chronic low back pain in which disc degeneration is a contributing factor. Satterwhite Chiropractic understands that older adults with back pain explain that it has affected their life, restricted their social and recreational outlets, complicated their family relationships. (2) Back pain upsets their plans for retirement, housing, health, and independence. (3) It is tough. Satterwhite Chiropractic gets this, empathizes with our older Oxford back pain sufferers, and offers Cox Technic to help whose goal is at least 50% relief in 30 days with many patients getting that more quickly than that and with a greater percent of relief. Satterwhite Chiropractic rejoices with our patients as they get back some independence and back pain relief.

WHAT TO DO

Feed your discs early and often. Disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life! More and more news evolves about the value of nutrition. Two positive nutrients for discs are chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate. These two sulfates feed the disc and potentially avert degeneration and even stimulate regeneration of the disc’s cartilage. Ask your Oxford chiropractor for more details. Satterwhite Chiropractic backs preventive care whenever possible!
