At Risk of Falling? Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Suggests Calcium plus Vitamin D
Falling hurts no matter how old you are. Falling for older Tonawanda folks may be much worse. Broken hips, broken wrists, vertebral fractures may result. Independence may be thwarted while healing. Tonawanda fall prevention is critical, and Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation recommends that all Tonawanda chiropractic patients and their families be aware of fall prevention strategies as well as a new nutritional approach to preventing falls.
Classic fall prevention plans work for most Tonawanda chiropractic families. Cleaning up clutter, wearing shoes, getting rid of any tripping hazards, taping down rugs or getting rid of them, installing grab bars in the bathroom, and even living in a home that is all on one level with no steps are all ways to reduce fall risk. Dealing with any health issues like dizziness or joint pain or shortness of breath or balance is crucial as those might also trigger a fall, too. 52.6% of patients with mild cognitive impairment and 51.4% Alzheimer’s disease patients tend to fall. It is valuable for these patients to take more time to sit and not hurry. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation can help assess health risks like these and others to help our Tonawanda chiropractic patients stay vertical! Physical activity and exercise are essential to maintain your strength. As our Tonawanda chiropractic patients age, more gentle exercises are advised like walking, water classes, tai chi, yoga, and/or Pilates. Together, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation and our Tonawanda chiropractic care patients discover something that works!
Like adding some nutrition: A new fall prevention proposal is to incorporate calcium and vitamin D together into the daily supplementation habit. A review of 26 articles comprising over 16,500 patients found that combined vitamin D plus calcium supplementation significantly reduces the fall risk. Vitamin D2 or D3 alone did not have such an effect. It’s the combination that does it! (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation sees this to be quite helpful when talking with our Tonawanda patients about their nutrition, especially with those who are more likely to be at higher risk for falls.
