Tonawanda Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. Some are becoming stars in the Tonawanda bone health and even Tonawanda back pain relief spheres. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a handful of the reasons. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation presents recent research behind the testing of B vitamin levels and adjusting any low levels with diet and supplementation as applicable.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We’re aging. We are not alone in this. Globally, aging is growing. Along with aging comes the growth of osteoporotic fracture incidence and morbidity, mortality, and cost related to those fractures. It’s quite a vicious cycle! Preventing osteoporosis and improving the health of bone is a reasonable goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown effective as has supplementing with B vitamins. Recent researchers state that support continues to expand for the possible protective role of B vitamins particularly B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research mentioned that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one option to contain any adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation.

Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation will collaborate with you to find out what’s best for you and your bones.
BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For years, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has studied the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the latest review article of 29 studies supports testing and supplementation of B vitamins. 14 studies reported that blood tests showing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are indicators of risk for reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, especially women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) improved BMD in another study. Taking B6 reduced the risk of hip fracture. These findings lead the researchers to propose that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is vital. They even went so far as to say it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is important for Tonawanda bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in managing inflammatory chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, decreasing CRP, etc. The roles of B vitamins – thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin – in back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders lean toward being anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory.
