Fort Wayne Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D essential? It sure 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 treats 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, enrich their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D deficiencies. Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plans are not just devised 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 be caused by vitamin D deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, using a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women experience vitamin D deficiency which possibly 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 are inclined to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc embraces its role in helping Fort Wayne back pain sufferers realize as functional a life as possible which may include instructing 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 reduction in calcium produced by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and increased bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture as well as 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 regularly.  (6) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc sees these as valuable motives to improve vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
