Chondroprotective…a beautiful word to your
Orchard Park, NY chiropractor who is all about protecting the cartilage of
Orchard Park, NY back pain and spine-related pain sufferers along with Orchard Park, NY knee pain sufferers with
osteoarthritis. When such pain happens, a decrease
in beneficial nutrients often accompanies it. Fortunately,
chiropractic care options at Novelli Wellness Center like spinal manipulation, exercise, and nutrition are
protective and alleviating.
PROTECTIVE AGENTS
Chondro refers to cartilage while protective
means, well, protective. When it comes to musculoskeletal pain
like Orchard Park, NYback pain or knee pain, chondroprotective agents are essential.
In recent 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 associated
with cartilage metabolism rose. (1) Novelli Wellness Center
suggests exercise whether it’s athletic-level or everyday
walking to enhance body health and cartilage metabolism like this
article details.
NUTRITIONAL AGENTS
Nutrition may improve osteoarthritis symptoms,
as well. Nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been
researched and recorded to slow the development
of osteoarthritis of the knee in many well-done research projects.
(2) Chondroprotectors - biological agents that add to the
regeneration of the cartilage surface and joint capsule and take part
in articular cartilage metabolism – come into play when there is a decrease
in chondroitin sulfate and ongoing loss of hyaline
cartilage as observed in osteoarthritis and low
back pain. The goal of osteoarthritis treatment is to slow its progression, ease
its pain, and improve any diminished function. (3) Novelli Wellness Center knows
well the chondroprotective nature of proper nutrition!
CHIROPRACTIC PROTECTIVE AND RELIEVING AGENTS

research as to its effectiveness to reduce pain and improve
joint space width. A paper reported that it continued for up
to 9 years. (4) Novelli Wellness Center is all for these chondroprotective
