Hip fractures. These are significant health
issues around the world. The risk of Tonawanda
hip fracture is impacted adversely
by drugs taken for all types of issues and positively
by nutritional supplements. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation constantly keeps in
mind the risk of fragility hip fracture in our osteoporotic patients and carefully observes
our Tonawanda osteoporotic patients. A new, uncomplicated
way to address hip fracture risk seems to be once-a-day
multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Tonawanda OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just figuring out
who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to avoid
a hip fracture is sometimes difficult! A meta-analysis
(a top-level review) of published research data regarding
the efficacy of screening the general population reported
that such screening reduced osteoporotic fractures and hip
fractures. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is watchful of at-risk
Tonawanda osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.
DRUGS AND Tonawanda OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and associated matters
including mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Some
pharmaceutical products are described as changing
bone structure and impact the risk of fragility hip fractures.
These drugs were significantly associated with
these fractures in a review of 38 studies on the subject:
antiparkinsonian drugs, antidepressants, anxiolytic
drugs, antipsychotic drugs, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors, H2
antagonists, and thyroid hormone.
One drug intervention was linked to a decreased risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice
researchers suggested to give patients at risk of fragility hip
fractures caused by medications: details
about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good
advice. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is all about sharing information and would
add that new research points to
supplementation as a help.
Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC SUGGESTED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
AND HIP FRACTURE REDUCTION
As hip fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis, a
non-drug approach like multivitamin use and its effect on hip fracture risk is of interest. A
meta-analysis reported on 8 studies on hip fracture risk and
multivitamin use. 80,148 subjects – 4237 of them had a fragility hip fracture –
were included. The average age was 69 years. 21% were
male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already very popular
and commonly used. Their use was found to be
significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture. (3)
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation hates to
think any of our osteoporotic patients would experience
a hip fracture!
