Osteoporosis and the gut. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may
actually be connected beyond the fact that they both are internal body issues. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated
bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestive problems. Researchers now
are discovering ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation helps Tonawanda
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Tonawanda osteoporosis is very common. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change
with probiotic use has become more mainstream
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Now,
researchers are looking at the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which influences
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that attempted
to sort this out did find that there was decreased
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
disparity in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation finds
these new discoveries connecting gut health and
osteoporosis useful in guiding Tonawanda
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Tonawanda chiropractic care of osteoporosis is multifaceted
incorporating spinal manipulation via the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing
osteoporosis as a condition likely encompassing the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now trying dietary approaches to deal
with osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
improved the BMD and microstructure of femur bone in rats with
osteoporosis. It also changed
levels of the serum bone markers. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and related
symptoms. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is very familiar with
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
