Collagen is a peptide or protein and is found everywhere in the body. We’re going to talk about Type 1, 2 & 3. In your disc you have a nucleus and cartilaginous structures. In hyaline cartilage, the collagen makes up 90% of its dry weight. It’s collagen that makes up the strength and integrity of these structures.
When you first get an injury, inflammation builds up over 48-72 hours to form a clot. The inflammation shunts growth factors into the area to stimulate the injury to heal the area. Collagen is derived from protein so it’s important that you get enough protein. Remodelling in the area can take months or years, because some tissues are not metabolically active. This means that in the early stages of healing, it can be re-injured easily because the pain levels will drop and you might presume it has healed.
The Phase 1 section of our Back In Shape membership area will help your body to start compensating for the injury, to start recruiting other muscles and make sure they’re functioning correctly.
Injections or NSAIDS can help with healing, but it affects the ligament’s strength - which is not helpful for healing where ligament damage is involved.
Long-term immobilisation (bed rest) doesn’t help as it decreases circulation to the area.
Use of peptide supplementation and resistance training can cause the ligaments to strengthen and thicken. It’s not excessive resistance loading either, it’s controlled: such as walking around the house in the beginning and then progressing onto strengthening exercises.
