Old Mill Chiropractic Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge
What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your St Peters chiropractor is well acquainted with them! Not a day goes by that your St Peters chiropractor is not treating spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism that demands oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and minerals for its ability to evade degenerative change. Let’s consider how St Peters chiropractic guided nutrition can alleviate and develop the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate and quite receptive to nutrition and St Peters chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The reduction of chondroitin sulfate inside the intervertebral disc during St Peters 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 sees a significant drop in chondroitin sulfate (known as glycosaminoglycan) in the disc structure. This degeneration happens throughout the entire disc. These changes give an appreciation of the possible impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and the development of therapeutic methods for disc regeneration and repair.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for the health of your St Peters disc and its ability to fight degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug for taking care of osteoarthritis and low back pain. St Peters inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin sulfate doesn’t have the adverse 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 bring back 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 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) Old Mill Chiropractic makes available a high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly has chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb formula containing the B vitamins to reduce inflammation. St Peters chiropractic patients describe this as a beneficial adjunct to their St Peters chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of St Peters chiropractic nutrition is further shown when combined with St Peters chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological effects of spinal manipulation displayed that it influenced disc physiology mainly via water flow via water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for the health of the disc. (5) Old Mill Chiropractic understands the joint importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with St Peters spinal manipulation to affect diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Old Mill Chiropractic is well experienced with spinal manipulation to do this!
This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic procedures in the treatment and prevention of St Peters disc degeneration and its subsequent disc herniation. The effects of St Peters chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis revealed that chiropractic may enhance the degeneration in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by regulating the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic enzymes.
