Fernandina Beach Osteoarthritis Benefits from Chiropractic Care
Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your Fernandina Beach chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of Fernandina Beach back pain and spine-related pain sufferers as well as Fernandina Beach knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain happens, a reduction of beneficial nutrients often follows. Luckily, chiropractic care options at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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 Fernandina Beachback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are helpful. In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been mentioned. More specifically in one study, glucosamine exhibited a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation associated with cartilage metabolism increased. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic encourages 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 studied and recorded to slow the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee in many well-done 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 ongoing loss of hyaline cartilage as seen in osteoarthritis in addition to low back pain. The goal of osteoarthritis treatment is to slow its progression, ease its pain, and enhance any diminished function. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands well the chondroprotective nature of proper nutrition!
CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS
