Auburn Osteoarthritis Benefits from Chiropractic Care
Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your Auburn chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of Auburn back pain and spine-related pain sufferers along with Auburn knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain happens, a reduction of 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 as well as relieving.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro describes cartilage while protective means, well, protective. When caring for musculoskeletal pain like Auburnback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are essential. In recent studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been mentioned. More specifically in one study, glucosamine showed 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 as this article describes.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis indications, too. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been researched and recorded to slow the development of osteoarthritis of the knee in many well-designed studies. (2) Chondroprotectors - biological agents that enhance 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 progressive loss of hyaline cartilage as seen in osteoarthritis and low back pain. The aim of osteoarthritis treatment is to reduce its progression, ease its pain, and enhance any reduced function.
