Arthritis is added to almost everyone's vocabulary at some point in life and is a substantial potion of our day-to-day routine at Old Mill Chiropractic. Degeneration of cartilage in the knees and spine affects many St Peters-residents eventually, but there is hope. Chiropractic care and nutrition are possibly your winning combination to low back pain and arthritis pain relief.

In St Peters, chiropractic non-surgical spinal manipulation with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction at Old Mill Chiropractic addresses the mechanical irritation of arthritis gently and safely. Distraction is even documented to reverse disc degeneration! (1) Furthermore, Old Mill Chiropractic understands the nutritional aspect of arthritis. Arthritis is an inflammatory change or traumatic change to a joint which reduces joint space and fluid loss. Pain results as spinal openings narrow, making the spinal nerves vulnerable to irritation. Reducing inflammation and rehydrating disc cartilage can definitely help.

The spine's cushion-like discs fill the role as shock absorbers between the vertebral bones in the spinal column. Just like the cartilage found in your knees, they require the proper nutrients to stay healthy. Chondroitin sulfate is good food for the disc. Long-term use of chondroitin sulfate prevents progression of osteoarthritis especially in knee arthritis. (2)

Disc nutrition is well-researched. A well-documented source for chondroitin sulfate is perna canaliculus -"the single most effective preparation ever encountered for the treatment of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis." (3) A green-lipped mussel grown off the coast of New Zealand- persons with shellfish allergies need to be aware - perna canaliculus is a highly regarded source of chondroitin sulfate which has "genuine anti-inflammatory effects." (3) Perna canaliculus...

• Reduces inflammation by 77% vs 42% with NSAIDs.
