A one-tract mind on back pain relief. Yes!
We chiropractors seem single-focused at times, don’t we? Spine
pain relief! Chiropractors study back
pain, neck pain, spine pain and its diagnosis and treatment to ease
pain. Your McHenry chiropractor is all about helping our patients. A recent paper that highlighted
how chondroitin sulfate may benefit our diabetic osteoporotic patients
really caught our attention! Nutrition and manipulation (and a bit
of exercise!) go hand in hand for spine pain relief. Here
is the most revent on chondroitin sulfate, B vitamins, and spine
nutritional health, all elements of the general
treatment plan for spine pain relief with the Cox® Technic System.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE
We have understood a
lot about chondroitin sulfate’s benefit for disc cartilage for a
long time. Innovative research is demonstrating its ability to repair bone microstructure and alleviate
diabetic osteoporosis after 8- and 10-weeks of use. Of course,
the studies were done with rats, but
the transfer of information is exciting. The
anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating advantages
are guiding researchers to discover dietary
interventions to help, too. Bone mineral density improvement was seen,
too. (1) Chondroitin sulfate is a valuable
inclusion in the chiropractic nutritional treatment of McHenry back
pain.
B VITAMINS
And B vitamins, long recognized for
their benefits for immunity, nervous system, and more, are now
written about their help for back pain and musculoskeletal
conditions. A combination of thiamine, pyridoxine, and
cyanocobalamin has pain-decreasing effects because of
their neuropathic and nociceptive effects due to their
anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory action.
(2) Those are quite worthy benefits! Another report
described the effective treatment of NSAIDs and B vitamins for enhancing general
well-being and increasing in the quality of sleep by day
10 of treatment observation of patients suffering
with acute lumbar dorsalgia (back pain). (3) McHenry chiropractic
care of back pain incorporates nutritional approaches
along with gentle spinal manipulation as outlined in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management.
