Arthritis is added to nearly everyone's vocabulary at some point in life and is a large part of our day-to-day routine at Apple Country Chiropractic. Degeneration of cartilage in the knees and spine affects many Williamson-residents at some point in time, but there is hope. Chiropractic care and nutrition are possibly your winning combination to low back pain and arthritis pain relief.
In Williamson, chiropractic non-surgical spinal manipulation with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction at Apple Country Chiropractic addresses the mechanical irritation of arthritis gently and safely. Distraction is even documented to reverse disc degeneration! (1) Furthermore, Apple Country Chiropractic understands the nutritional aspect of arthritis. Arthritis is an inflammatory change or traumatic change to a joint which reduces joint space and fluid loss. Pain results as spinal openings narrow, making the spinal nerves vulnerable to irritation. Reducing inflammation and rehydrating disc cartilage can certainly help.
The spine's cartilage discs fill the role as shock absorbers between the vertebral bones in the spinal column. Akin to the cartilage found in your knees, they require the proper nutrients to stay healthy. Chondroitin sulfate is good food for the disc. Long-term use of chondroitin sulfate prevents progression of osteoarthritis especially in knee arthritis. (2)
Disc nutrition is well-researched. A well-documented source for chondroitin sulfate is
perna canaliculus -"the single most effective preparation ever encountered for the treatment of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis." (3) A green-lipped mussel grown off the coast of New Zealand- persons with shellfish allergies need to be aware - perna canaliculus is a highly regarded source of chondroitin sulfate which has "
genuine anti-inflammatory effects." (3) Perna canaliculus...
- Reduces inflammation by 77% vs 42% with NSAIDs.
- Repairs degraded bone.
- Increases absorption and replacement of calcium.
- Rebuilds damaged bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and disc.
