“I got it! I got it!” you confidently shout to your New York City fellow workers as you go to lift something all by yourself. Then, snap. There goes your back!
“Why?” our New York City chiropractic patients often ask. Well, there are lots of reasons, but one cause for concern in those who overdo it at work and have a tendency for degenerated lumbar discs is that degenerated discs tend to respond to spinal loading negatively. (2) The nucleus pulposus - the center of the disc - is most at risk of damage when it is degenerated. It just can’t absorb the load like a normal disc can. It’s worn out! But that's where Rosenberg Wellness Center comes to the rescue. Our Cox Technic is relieving!
What starts disc degeneration? Possibly, overloading the spine. Loading and compression affect the transport of nutrients and oxygen to the spinal cells. The functional spine depends on a healthy disc to do its job of moving nutrients in and out. (3) And smoking…Don’t! It induces disc degeneration. (4) Further, too much spinal loading may lead to inflammation, degeneration and cell death. (5) Inflammation irritates nerves. Degeneration shrinks the spinal canal area. And you certainly don’t want your cells to die! So, be careful, you New York City men. Come let Rosenberg Wellness Center work on your overloaded discs to help them do their jobs better.
Don’t let this information scare you away from doing what you want or need to do. The key is to balance your physical activities because fear avoidance leads to increased disability, too. (6) So move, work, exercise and do what you need to do, but don’t go too crazy! Accept help when offered from others...and from Rosenberg Wellness Center!
