A one-tract mind on back pain relief. Yes!
We chiropractors seem single-focused at times, don’t we? Spine
pain relief! Chiropractors study back
pain, neck pain, spine pain and its diagnosis and treatment to ease
pain. Your Richmond chiropractor is very involved in helping our patients. A new paper that addressed
how chondroitin sulfate may benefit our diabetic osteoporotic patients
really got our attention! Nutrition and manipulation (and a little exercise!) go hand in hand for spine pain relief. Following
is the latest on chondroitin sulfate, B vitamins, and spine
nutritional health, all parts of the overall
treatment plan for spine pain relief with the Cox® Technic System.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE
We’ve learned much about chondroitin sulfate’s benefit for disc cartilage for some time. New research is sharing new details
about its ability to repair bone microstructure and ease
diabetic osteoporosis after 8- and 10-weeks of use. Of course,
the studies were done with rats, but
the transfer of information is exciting. The
anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating benefits
are leading researchers to find dietary
interventions as well. Bone mineral density improvement was seen,
too. (1) Chondroitin sulfate is a key
addition to the chiropractic nutritional treatment of Richmond back
pain.
B VITAMINS
Now, B vitamins, long known for
their benefits for immunity, nervous system, and more, are now
written about their help for back pain and musculoskeletal
conditions. A combination of thiamine, pyridoxine, and
cyanocobalamin has pain-decreasing effects due to
their neuropathic and nociceptive effects via to their
anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory action.
(2) Those are many valuable benefits! Another study
described the effective treatment of NSAIDs and B vitamins for enhancing general
well-being and heightening the quality of sleep by the 10th day of treatment observation of sufferers
with acute lumbar dorsalgia (back pain). (3) Richmond chiropractic
care of back pain includes nutritional options
alongside gentle spinal manipulation as outlined in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management.
