Juneau Osteoarthritis Benefits from Chiropractic Care
Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your Juneau chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of Juneau back pain and spine-related pain sufferers as well as Juneau knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain happens, a decrease in beneficial nutrients often follows. Fortunately, chiropractic care options at Aurora Chiropractic Center like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are protective as well as alleviating.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro refers to cartilage while protective means, well, protective. When it comes to musculoskeletal pain like Juneauback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are valuable. In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been mentioned. More specifically in a study, glucosamine demonstrated a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation related to cartilage metabolism rose. (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center encourages exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism as this article describes.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis symptoms, 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 add to 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 and low back pain. The aim of osteoarthritis treatment is to reduce its progression, ease its pain, and improve any diminished function.

CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS
At Aurora Chiropractic Center, chiropractic care combines a variety of methods to ease pain and protect the body’s joints and cartilage. Spinal manipulation is the anticipated chiropractic treatment approach while a reworking of its distractive principles has been created for the knee for relief of osteoarthritis knee pain.
