Tonawanda Chiropractic Nutrition: Gut, Bone, Chondroitin Sulfate
The gut and osteoporosis. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may actually be connected beyond the fact that they both are internal body issues. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestion problems. Researchers now are discovering ties between gut health and osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation helps Tonawanda chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Tonawanda osteoporosis is very common. Gut issues are, too. Gut health modification via the use of probiotics has grown to be more commonplace in recent years to address chronic diseases like autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Today, researchers are looking at the health of the gut microbiome to deal with bone mass regulation which influences osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is linked to a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and modified microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that attempted to figure 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 Spine Sports And Rehabilitation finds these new discoveries linking gut health and osteoporosis helpful in planning the Tonawanda osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Tonawanda chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex including spinal manipulation by way of the gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Looking at osteoporosis as a condition likely encompassing the microbiota of the gut, researchers are now trying dietary approaches to address osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex improved the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also changed levels of the serum bone markers. This supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential to ease osteoporosis and related symptoms. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is very familiar with the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also be beneficial for osteoporosis.
