Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your
Tonawanda chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of
Tonawanda back pain and spine-related pain sufferers in addition to Tonawanda knee pain sufferers with
osteoarthritis. When such pain rises, a decrease
in beneficial nutrients often accompanies it. Luckily,
chiropractic care options at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are
protective and relieving.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro refers to cartilage while protective
means, well, protective. When caring for musculoskeletal pain
like Tonawandaback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are beneficial.
In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been mentioned.
More specifically in one study, glucosamine exhibited
a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by blocking type
II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation associated
with cartilage metabolism increased. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
suggests exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday
walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism like this
article describes.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis indications,
as well. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been
researched and documented to slow the progression
of osteoarthritis of the knee in many well-designed research projects.
(2) Chondroprotectors - biological agents that enhance the
regeneration of the cartilage surface and joint capsule and take part
in articular cartilage metabolism – work when there is a reduction
in chondroitin sulfate and ongoing loss of hyaline
cartilage as observed in osteoarthritis and low
back pain. The aim of osteoarthritis treatment is to reduce its progression, relieve
its pain, and enhance any reduced function. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows
well the chondroprotective nature of proper nutrition!
CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS
At Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation, chiropractic care incorporates
a variety of methods to reduce
pain and protect the body’s joints and cartilage. Spinal manipulation is the expected
chiropractic treatment approach while a reworking of its
distractive principles has been applied to the knee for osteoarthritic knee pain relief. Research
support for distraction of the knee grows as to its effectiveness in alleviating
pain and improving
joint space width. A paper reported that it continued for up
to 9 years. (4) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is all for these chondroprotective
approaches to knee as well as Tonawanda back
pain!
