Augusta Osteoarthritis Benefits from Chiropractic Care
Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your Augusta chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of Augusta back pain and spine-related pain sufferers along with Augusta knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain rises, a reduction of beneficial nutrients often accompanies it. Luckily, chiropractic care options at Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are protective and relieving.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro refers to cartilage while protective means, well, protective. When it comes to musculoskeletal pain like Augustaback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are essential. In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been cited. More specifically in one 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) Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic suggests exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism like this article details.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis symptoms, too. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been studied and documented to slow the progress 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 – come into play when there is a decrease in chondroitin sulfate and progressive loss of hyaline cartilage as seen in osteoarthritis in addition to low back pain. The aim of osteoarthritis treatment is to slow its progression, relieve its pain, and enhance any reduced function.

CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS
At Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic, chiropractic care integrates a variety of methods to reduce pain and protect the body’s joints and cartilage.
