Is Vitamin D essential? Absolutely! So many of us in Colorado Springs are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some places in the world! Vitamin D impacts a variety of bodily functions, and your Colorado Springs chiropractor
treats so many of those bodily functions. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR
encourages Colorado Springs chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to protect their health, enhance
their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D
deficiencies. Colorado Springs 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 as well as falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia
and rickets may also be caused by vitamin D
deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, taking
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps boost bone
mineral density and reduce the chance of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women have vitamin D deficiency which potentially
increases 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 tend to have low vitamin D levels. (3) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR appreciates
its role in helping Colorado Springs back pain sufferers achieve
as functional a life as possible which may involve 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 reduction in calcium caused
by taking denosumab, impeded bone metabolism, and raised
bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enriches
muscle function and help bone. (5) Osteoporotic
vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, especially
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past
such fractures and less prone to exercising regularly. (6) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR sees these as
worthy causes to correct
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
