Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your
Colorado Springs chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of
Colorado Springs back pain and spine-related pain sufferers as
well as Colorado Springs knee pain sufferers with
osteoarthritis. When such pain happens, a reduction of beneficial nutrients often follows. Luckily,
chiropractic care options at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are
protective as well as alleviating.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro refers to cartilage while protective
means, well, protective. When caring for musculoskeletal pain
like Colorado Springsback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are valuable.
In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been mentioned.
More specifically in a study, glucosamine showed
a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by blocking type
II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation related to cartilage metabolism rose. (1) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR
encourages exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday
walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism as this
article details.
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 – work when there is a decrease
in chondroitin sulfate and progressive loss of hyaline
cartilage as observed in osteoarthritis and low
back pain. The aim of treatment of
osteoarthritis is to reduce its progression, relieve
its pain, and enhance any reduced function. (3) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR understands
well the chondroprotective nature of proper nutrition!
CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS
At The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR, chiropractic care integrates
a variety of methods to reduce
pain and protect the body’s joints and cartilage. Spinal manipulation is the expected
chiropractic treatment approach while adaptation of its
distractive principles has been applied to the knee for relief
of osteoarthritis knee pain. Distraction of the
osteoarthritic kneeis expanding in research support as to its effectiveness in relieving
pain and improving
joint space width. A paper reported that it continued for up
to 9 years. (4) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is all for these chondroprotective
approaches to knee in addition to Colorado Springs back
pain!
