Osteoporosis and the gut. They
may not seem be connected conditions beyond the fact that they both take place in the
body. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in bone health deterioration. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in problems
with digestion. Researchers now
are finding ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Chiropractic Care helps West Palm Beach
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
West Palm Beach osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health modification
with probiotic use has become more mainstream
in recent years to help chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Today,
researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which affects
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that attempted
to sort this out did find that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
difference in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Chiropractic Care finds
these new discoveries connecting gut health and
osteoporosis helpful in planning the
West Palm Beach osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
West Palm Beach chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
including spinal manipulation by way of the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing
osteoporosis as a condition likely involving the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now using 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
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Chiropractic Care is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
