Montreal Osteoarthritis Benefits from Chiropractic Care

October 17, 2019

Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your Montreal chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of Montreal back pain and spine-related pain sufferers along with Montreal knee pain sufferers with osteoarthritis. When such pain happens, a reduction of beneficial nutrients often accompanies it. Luckily, chiropractic care options at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are protective as well as alleviating.

PROTECTIVE AGENTS

Chondro describes cartilage while protective means, well, protective. When caring for musculoskeletal pain like Montrealback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are helpful. In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been mentioned. More specifically in a study, glucosamine exhibited a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by preventing type II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation related to cartilage metabolism rose. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism like this article describes.

NUTRITIONAL AGENTS

Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis symptoms, too. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been studied and documented to slow the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee in many well-done research projects. (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 reduction in chondroitin sulfate and progressive loss of hyaline cartilage as observed in osteoarthritis and low back pain. The aim of osteoarthritis treatment is to slow its progression, ease its pain, and improve any diminished function. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic understands well the chondroprotective nature of proper nutrition!

CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS

At Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic, chiropractic care incorporates a variety of methods to ease pain and protect the body’s joints and cartilage.
