We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal
discs age. Now, there’s something your
Tonawanda chiropractor can do something about though!
Spinal discs show aging after they start
degenerating. Disc degeneration in a Tonawanda spine may first be exposed
when you feel some back pain. For
some, disc degeneration proceeds unnoticed
until years later. New research points out
that disc degeneration for any of us in Tonawanda may begin
as early as the teen years. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is all about easing
any pain and preventing any degeneration possible with nutrition
and Tonawanda chiropractic care.
Tonawanda DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th
Decades of Life
In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification differentiates
levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is really
bad degeneration. Researchers studied the MRI
images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is very common
in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It is stated
to be “natural” to see disc degeneration start in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That indicates
that disc degeneration starts in the teen years of life!? Does
that shock any of our Tonawanda chiropractic patients? Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
is not shocked, necessarily, but Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is prepared
to treat the teen Tonawanda back pain sufferer. Do any Tonawanda teens live at home
with you? Do they ever mention having back
pain or neck pain?
Tonawanda DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 6th Decade
of Life
Grade 4 was more usual in the sixth decade
of life. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation treats many older
patients with chronic low back pain in which disc degeneration is part of the problem. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation understands
that older adults with back pain express it has altered
their life, interfered with their social and recreational
outlets, complicated their family relationships. (2) Back
pain upsets their plans for retirement, housing,
health, and independence. (3) It is difficult.
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation gets this, empathizes with our older
Tonawanda back pain sufferers, and uses Cox Technic to help whose
goal is at least 50% relief in 30 days with many patients attaining
50% sooner than that and with a greater
percent of relief. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation rejoices with our patients
as they regain some independence and back pain relief.
WHAT TO DO
Feed your discs early and often. Disc degeneration
begins in the 2nd decade of life! More and more news comes 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 promote regeneration of the disc’s
cartilage. Ask your Tonawanda chiropractor for more details.
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation supports preemptive
care any time possible!
