Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your Auburn chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of Auburn back pain and spine-related pain sufferers in addition to Auburn knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain arises, a decrease in beneficial nutrients often accompanies it. Luckily, chiropractic care options at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 Auburnback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are valuable. In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been cited. More specifically in one study, glucosamine demonstrated a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation related to cartilage metabolism rose. (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 symptoms, as well. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been researched and recorded 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 participate in articular cartilage metabolism – work when there is a reduction in chondroitin sulfate and progressive loss of hyaline cartilage as observed in osteoarthritis in addition to low back pain. The goal of osteoarthritis treatment is to slow its progression, relieve its pain, and increase any reduced function.
