B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. A few are rising
stars in the Fort Wayne bone health and even Fort Wayne back
pain relief areas. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and
related fractures are a few of the causes. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
presents recent 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’re 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’s quite a vicious circle!
Preventing osteoporosis and improving the health of bone is a reasonable
goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown effective as has the supplementation of B vitamins. Recent researchers state
that support keeps expanding
for the possible protective role of B vitamins especially
B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research mentioned
that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one way to go to contain
any unwanted effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation. (1) It’s important to get the right mix of B
vitamins to do the best for bone health. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc will collaborate
with you to find out what is best for you and your
bones.
BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For years, Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc has studied the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the latest
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 signs of risk for reduced
bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, particularly
women. Taking folate vitamin B9
(500mcg-5mg a day) improved BMD in another study. Taking B6 reduced
the risk of hip fracture. These findings prompted the researchers to
propose that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in
elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is crucial. They even
went so far as to say it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B
is valuable for Fort Wayne bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in managing inflammatory
chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, decreasing
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. (3) Big words. Big
concepts. Big deals. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc offers that these effects are helpful
in dealing with back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and issues affecting bone and spine health via nutrition.
