Fort Wayne Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. A few are becoming stars in the Fort Wayne bone health and even Fort Wayne back pain relief worlds. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a few of the causes. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc shares new research behind the testing of B vitamin levels and adjusting any low levels with diet and supplementation as appropriate.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We are aging. We are not alone in this. Globally, aging is growing. Along with aging comes the growth of osteoporotic fracture incidence and morbidity, mortality, and cost related to those fractures. It is quite an unpleasant cycle! Preventing osteoporosis and improving the health of bone is a fair goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown valuable as has supplementing with B vitamins. Recent researchers wrote that support continues to expand for the possible protective role of B vitamins especially B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research suggested that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one option to contain any unwanted effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation.

BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For years, Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc has studied the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the newest review article of 29 studies supports testing and supplementation of B vitamins. 14 studies stated that blood tests showing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are indicators of risk for reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, especially women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) improved BMD in another study. Taking B6 reduced the risk of hip fracture. These findings lead the researchers to propose that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is vital. They even went so far as to say it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is important for Fort Wayne bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in controlling inflammatory chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, lowering CRP, etc. The roles of B vitamins – thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin – in back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders lean toward being anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory.
