Augusta Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D important? Absolutely! So many of us in Augusta are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some areas in the world! Vitamin D impacts so many bodily functions, and your Augusta chiropractor treats so many of those bodily functions. Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic encourages Augusta chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D deficiencies. Augusta chiropractic treatment plans are not just developed for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well precede issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in reduced muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability and falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also result from vitamin D deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, using a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone mineral density and decrease the risk of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women experience vitamin D deficiency which potentially raises the risk of development of osteoporosis and pregnancy-related complications in the future. (2) Children with scoliosis of mean age of 13.6 years before corrective spinal surgery are inclined to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic embraces its role in helping Augusta back pain sufferers attain as functional a life as possible which may encompass instructing patients to boost their vitamin D levels.

PROTECT AND ENHANCE HEALTH WITH IMPROVED VITAMIN D LEVELS

Combining vitamin D and calcium with denosumab (a drug used for osteoporosis treatment) combated the decrease in calcium caused by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and increased bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture as well as sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enriches muscle function and help bone.  (5) Osteoporotic vertebral fracture increases the risk of back pain, especially in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past such fractures and less disposed to exercising regularly.  (6) Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic sees these as valuable reasons to improve vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
