OrthoIllinois Chiropractic Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge
What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your McHenry chiropractor is well acquainted with them! Not less than daily is it that your McHenry chiropractor isn’t 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 consider how McHenry chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and develop the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate and quite responsive to nutrition and McHenry chiropractic treatment.
THE ROLE OF DISC DEGENERATION
The depletion of chondroitin sulfate within the intervertebral disc during McHenry degenerative disc disease creates a reduction in tissue hydration, a loss of fluid movement, cell death (aka apoptosis), a loss of nerve growth inhibition and finally, the loss of disc function. Aging sees a significant drop 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 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 important for the health of your McHenry disc and its capability to fight degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug for treating osteoarthritis and low back pain. McHenry inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin sulfate does not have the adverse side effects of non–steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can damage 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 called Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly this disc cell restorative fluid contains chondroitin sulfate which is the chemical making up 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) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic makes available a high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly contains chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb formula incorporating the B vitamins to lower inflammation. McHenry chiropractic patients describe this as an advantageous addition to their McHenry chiropractic care.
SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION
The benefit of McHenry chiropractic nutrition is further shown when coupled with McHenry chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological effects of spinal manipulation showed that it affected disc physiology mostly via water flow via water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for the health of the disc. (5) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic understands the joint importance of providing the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with McHenry spinal manipulation to influence diffusion of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. OrthoIllinois 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 McHenry disc degeneration and its subsequent disc herniation. The effects of McHenry chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed that chiropractic may enhance the degeneration in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by adjusting the intervertebral disc matrix system and related metabolic enzymes.
