Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your
Manchester chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of
Manchester back pain and spine-related pain sufferers along with Manchester knee pain sufferers with
osteoarthritis. When such pain happens, a reduction of beneficial nutrients often follows. Luckily,
chiropractic care options at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are
protective and relieving.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro describes cartilage while protective
means, well, protective. When caring for musculoskeletal pain
like Manchesterback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are valuable.
In newer studies, the term “chondroprotectors” has been mentioned.
More specifically in one study, glucosamine exhibited
a chondroprotective action on osteoarthritis by blocking type
II collagen degradation. In athletes, such collagen degradation associated
with cartilage metabolism rose. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries
suggests exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday
walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism as this
article details.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis indications,
too. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been
studied and documented to slow the progression
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 – work when there is a decrease
in chondroitin sulfate and increasing loss of hyaline
cartilage as observed in osteoarthritis in addition to low
back pain. The aim of osteoarthritis treatment is to slow its progression, ease
its pain, and improve any reduced function. (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understands
well the chondroprotective nature of proper nutrition!

chiropractic treatment approach while adaptation of its

support for distraction of the knee grows as to its success to reduce pain and improve
joint space width. A paper reported that it continued for up
