Williamson Chiropractic Care of Williamson Degenerated Discs Starts with Understanding and Nutritional Protection
We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal discs age. Now, there’s something your Williamson chiropractor can help with though! Spinal discs display aging once they start degenerating. Disc degeneration in a Williamson spine may first be discovered once there’s some back pain. For some, disc degeneration proceeds unnoticed until years afterward. New research suggests that disc degeneration for any of us in Williamson may begin as early as the teen years. Apple Country Chiropractic is all about alleviating any pain and preventing any degeneration possible with nutrition and Williamson chiropractic care.
Williamson 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 really bad degeneration. Researchers examined the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is most common in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It’s stated to be “natural” to see disc degeneration start in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That indicates that disc degeneration begins in the teen years of life!? Does that shock any of our Williamson chiropractic patients? Apple Country Chiropractic is not shocked, necessarily, but Apple Country Chiropractic is ready to treat the teen Williamson back pain sufferer. Do any Williamson teens live at home with you? Do they ever mention having back pain or neck pain?
Williamson DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 6th Decade of Life
Grade 4 was more usual in the sixth decade of life. (1) Apple Country Chiropractic sees many older patients with chronic low back pain in which disc degeneration is part of the problem. Apple Country Chiropractic realizes that older adults with back pain express it has altered 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 unpleasant. Apple Country Chiropractic understands this, empathizes with our older Williamson back pain sufferers, and offers Cox Technic to help whose goal is a minimum of 50% relief in 30 days with many patients acquiring 50% sooner than that and with a greater percent of relief. Apple Country Chiropractic 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 is published about the value of nutrition. Two positive nutrients for discs are chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate. These two sulfates feed the disc and potentially prevent degeneration and even stimulate regeneration of the disc’s cartilage. Ask your Williamson chiropractor for more details. Apple Country Chiropractic favors proactive care whenever possible!
