Fort Wayne Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

Is Vitamin D essential? You bet it is! So many of us in Fort Wayne are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some places in the world! Vitamin D influences so many bodily functions, and your Fort Wayne chiropractor works with so many of those bodily functions. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc encourages Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D deficiencies. Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plans are not just created for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well lead to issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability as well as falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also stem from15 vitamin D deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, taking a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone mineral density and reduce the risk of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women have vitamin D deficiency which potentially raises 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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc appreciates its role in helping Fort Wayne back pain sufferers realize as functional a life as possible which may include directing patients to improve 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 decrease in calcium caused by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and increased bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enhances muscle function and help bone.  (5) Osteoporotic vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, particularly in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and prior such fractures and less prone to exercising routinely.  (6) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc sees these as worthy motives to improve vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
