Minster Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D important? You bet it is! So many of us in Minster are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some areas in the world! Vitamin D impacts a variety of bodily functions, and your Minster chiropractor works with so many of those bodily functions. Minster Chiropractic Center encourages Minster chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D deficiencies. Minster chiropractic treatment plans are not just developed for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well precede issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability as well as falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also result from vitamin D deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone mineral density and lessen the chance of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women experience vitamin D deficiency which possibly raises the risk of development of osteoporosis and pregnancy-related complications in the future. (2) Children with scoliosis of mean age of 13.6 years before corrective spinal surgery are inclined to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Minster Chiropractic Center welcomes its role in helping Minster back pain sufferers achieve as functional a life as possible which may include instructing patients to increase their vitamin D levels.

PROTECT AND ENHANCE HEALTH WITH IMPROVED VITAMIN D LEVELS

Combining vitamin D and calcium with denosumab (a drug used for osteoporosis treatment) combated the reduction in calcium caused by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and increased bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enhances muscle function and help bone.  (5) Osteoporotic vertebral fracture increases the risk of back pain, particularly in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and prior such fractures and less prone to exercising routinely.  (6) Minster Chiropractic Center sees these as good causes to improve vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
