Auburn Chiropractic Care of Auburn Degenerated Discs Starts with Understanding and Nutritional Protection

We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal discs age. Now, that’s something your Auburn chiropractor can help with though! Spinal discs exhibit aging once they start degenerating. Disc degeneration in a Auburn spine may first be discovered when you feel some back pain. For some, disc degeneration proceeds ignored until years afterward. New research suggests that disc degeneration for any of us in Auburn may start as early as the teen years. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is all for relieving any pain and averting any degeneration possible with nutrition and Auburn chiropractic care.

Auburn DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th Decades of Life

In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification differentiates levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is severe degeneration. Researchers examined the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is most common in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It is declared “natural” to find that disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That means that disc degeneration begins in the teen years of life!?

WHAT TO DO

Feed your discs early and often. Disc degeneration begins in the 2nd decade of life! More and more news comes about the value of nutrition.
