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 today
are finding ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR helps Colorado Springs
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Colorado Springs osteoporosis is very common. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change
via the use of probiotics has grown to be more mainstream
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 decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that tried
to sort this out did find that there was decreased
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
difference in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR sees these new discoveries linking gut
health and osteoporosis as being helpful in guiding Colorado Springs
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Colorado Springs 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 involving the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now trying dietary approaches to deal
with osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
enhanced the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also modified
levels of the serum bone markers. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is excited
that it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
