Plainville Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. A few are becoming stars in the Plainville bone health and even Plainville back pain relief areas. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a handful of the reasons. Layden Chiropractic shares new research behind the testing of B vitamin levels and adjusting any reduced levels with diet and supplementation as appropriate.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We are aging. We’re not alone in it. 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 state that support keeps growing 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 adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation.

BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For a long time, Layden Chiropractic 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 reported that blood tests revealing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are signs of risk for reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, especially women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) enhanced BMD in another study. Taking B6 decreased the risk of hip fracture. These findings lead the researchers to suggest 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 imperative for Plainville bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in controlling 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 tend toward being anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory.

Layden Chiropractic offers that these effects are beneficial in dealing with back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and issues affecting bone and spine health via nutrition.
