Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC Cares for Spinal Discs with Nutrition and Knowledge

February 06, 2018

What do you know about the nutrition of the discs in your spine? Your La Grande chiropractor knows a lot about them! Not a day goes by that your La Grande chiropractor is not working with spinal discs. The discs in the spine have a high metabolism that requires oxygen, glucose, chondroitin sulfate and minerals for its ability to evade degenerative change. Let’s look at how La Grande chiropractic guided nutrition can stabilize and develop the health of the human disc. Its nutritional balance is delicate and quite responsive to nutrition and La Grande chiropractic treatment.

HOW DISC DEGENERATION PLAYS A ROLE

The reduction of chondroitin sulfate  within the intervertebral disc during La Grande degenerative disc disease results in a reduction in tissue hydration, a loss of fluid movement, cell death (also called apoptosis), a loss of nerve growth inhibition and finally, the loss of disc function. Aging sees a significant decrease in chondroitin sulfate (called glycosaminoglycan) in the disc structure. This degeneration happens throughout the whole disc. These changes offer an appreciation of the possible impact of chondroitin sulfate on the disc biology and the growth of therapeutic approaches for disc regeneration and repair. (1) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC takes note of this to help La Grande chiropractic disc degeneration patients.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Not only is chondroitin sulfate vital for the health of your La Grande disc and its ability to fight degeneration, but chondroitin sulfate is a slow-acting anti-inflammatory drug for doctoring osteoarthritis and low back pain. La Grande inflammation plays a role in disc health status. Chondroitin sulfate doesn’t have the unfavorable side effects of non–steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can harm organs such as the liver, heart and kidneys. (2) A source of chondroitin sulfate is from human umbilical cord which is revealed to restore the degenerative disc cells when disc cells are put in this umbilical fluid known as Wharton’s Jelly. Captivatingly this disc cell restorative fluid contains chondroitin sulfate which is the chemical making up the intervertebral disc. (3) Also of curiosity is a study showing positive outcomes using vitamins B12, 1, and 6 in treating arm and leg pain due to intervertebral disc degeneration and herniation. (4) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC makes available a high-quality disc nutritional supplement that explicitly has chondroitin sulfate and a daily multivitamin, amino acid, enzyme, and herb formula containing the B vitamins to reduce inflammation. La Grande chiropractic patients describe this as valuable adjunct to their La Grande chiropractic care.

SPINAL MANIPULATION PLUS NUTRITION

The benefit of La Grande chiropractic nutrition is further revealed when joined with La Grande chiropractic spinal manipulation. The physiological effects of spinal manipulation showed that it guided disc physiology primarily through water flow via water diffusion and molecular transport into the disc, which are important for the health of the disc. (5) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC comprehends the combined importance of supplying the nutrients of a good disc supplement and daily multivitamin with La Grande spinal manipulation to influence dispersement of water and molecular chemicals into the disc. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is well skilled with spinal manipulation to do this!

This study puts in perspective the role of Cox Technic protocols in the treatment and prevention of La Grande disc degeneration and its resultant disc herniation. The effects of La Grande chiropractic on intervertebral disk matrix and metabolic enzymes in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis showed that chiropractic may enhance the degeneration in rats with cervical disc degeneration and arthritis by regulating the intervertebral disc matrix system and relevant metabolic enzymes.
