Carrolltown Osteoarthritis Benefits from Chiropractic Care
Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your Carrolltown chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of Carrolltown back pain and spine-related pain sufferers as well as Carrolltown knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain arises, a reduction of beneficial nutrients often follows. Fortunately, chiropractic care options at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are protective and relieving.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro refers to cartilage while protective means, well, protective. When it comes to musculoskeletal pain like Carrolltownback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are valuable. In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been cited. More specifically in one study, glucosamine exhibited a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation related to cartilage metabolism rose. (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation suggests exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism like this article details.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis indications, too. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been studied and documented to slow the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee in many well-designed studies. (2) Chondroprotectors - biological agents that add to the regeneration of the cartilage surface and joint capsule and take part in articular cartilage metabolism – come into play when there is a decrease in chondroitin sulfate and ongoing loss of hyaline cartilage as observed in osteoarthritis in addition to low back pain. The goal of osteoarthritis treatment is to reduce its progression, relieve its pain, and increase any reduced function.
