Juneau Chiropractic Care of Juneau Degenerated Discs Starts with Understanding and Nutritional Protection
We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal discs age. Now, that is something your Juneau chiropractor can do something about though! Spinal discs exhibit aging when they start degenerating. Disc degeneration in a Juneau spine may first be found once you feel some back pain. Sometimes, disc degeneration goes disregarded until years later. New research reveals that disc degeneration for any of us in Juneau may begin as early as the teen years. Aurora Chiropractic Center is all for alleviating any pain and averting any degeneration possible with nutrition and Juneau chiropractic care.
Juneau DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th Decades of Life
In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification defines levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is severe degeneration. Researchers examined the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is most usual in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It is declared “natural” to find that disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That means that disc degeneration begins in the teen years of life!? Does that shock any of our Juneau chiropractic patients? Aurora Chiropractic Center isn’t shocked, necessarily, but Aurora Chiropractic Center is ready to treat the teen Juneau back pain sufferer. Do you have any Juneau teens at home with you? Do they ever talk about having back pain or neck pain?
Juneau DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 6th Decade of Life
Grade 4 was more usual in the sixth decade of life. (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center takes care of many older patients with chronic low back pain in which disc degeneration plays a role. Aurora Chiropractic Center understands that older adults with back pain express it has affected their life, interfered with their social and recreational outlets, messed with their family relationships. (2) Back pain upsets their plans for retirement, housing, health, and independence. (3) It is difficult. Aurora Chiropractic Center knows this, empathizes with our older Juneau back pain sufferers, and offers Cox Technic to help whose goal is a minimum of 50% relief in 30 days with many patients getting that more quickly than that and with a greater percent of relief. Aurora Chiropractic Center rejoices with our patients as they regain some independence and back pain relief.
WHAT TO DO
Feed your discs early and often. Disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life! More and more news evolves about the value of nutrition. Two positive nutrients for discs are chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate. These two sulfates nourish the disc and potentially avert degeneration and even stimulate regeneration of the disc’s cartilage. Ask your Juneau chiropractor for more details. Aurora Chiropractic Center backs proactive care any time possible!
