Osteoporosis and the gut. They
may not seem be connected conditions 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 problems
with digestion. Researchers now
are finding ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Most Chiropractic Clinic helps Murfreesboro
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Murfreesboro osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health change
with probiotic use has grown to be more commonplace
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. 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 linked
to a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that tried
to figure this out did find that there was decreased
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
contrast in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Most Chiropractic Clinic finds
these new discoveries linking gut health and
osteoporosis useful in guiding Murfreesboro
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Murfreesboro chiropractic care of osteoporosis is multifaceted
incorporating spinal manipulation by way of the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing
osteoporosis as a condition likely encompassing 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 the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also modified
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and related
symptoms. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic 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.
