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 bone health deterioration. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestion problems. Researchers now
are discovering ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc helps Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Fort Wayne osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. Gut issues are, too. Gut health modification
via the use of probiotics has grown to be more commonplace
in recent years to help chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Today,
researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to
address bone mass regulation which influences
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 not yet known. A study that attempted
to sort this out did discover that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
difference in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc finds
these new discoveries linking gut health and
osteoporosis helpful in planning the
Fort Wayne osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Fort Wayne chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
including spinal manipulation by way of the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing
osteoporosis as a condition likely encompassing the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now using dietary approaches to deal
with osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
improved the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also changed
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is very familiar with
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is enthused it may also benefit osteoporosis.
