The gut and osteoporosis. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may
actually be connected beyond the fact that they both take place in the
body. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated
bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestion problems. Researchers now
are discovering links between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Wilson Family Chiropractic helps Millville
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Millville osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. Gut issues are, too. Gut health modification
via the use of probiotics has grown to be more commonplace
in recent years 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
address bone mass regulation which influences
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is linked
to a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that tried
to sort this out did find that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
contrast in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Wilson Family Chiropractic finds
these new discoveries connecting gut health and
osteoporosis useful in planning the
Millville osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Millville chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
including spinal manipulation via the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Looking at
osteoporosis as a condition likely encompassing the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now using dietary approaches to deal
with osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
enhanced the BMD and microstructure of femur bone in rats with
osteoporosis. It also modified
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Wilson Family Chiropractic is very familiar with
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is enthused it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
