At Risk of Falling? Layden Chiropractic Suggests Calcium plus Vitamin D
Falling hurts at any age. Falling for older Plainville folks may be much worse. Broken hips, broken wrists, vertebral fractures may result. Independence may be thwarted while healing. Plainville fall prevention is so important, and Layden Chiropractic encourages all Plainville chiropractic patients and their families be aware of fall prevention strategies as well as an innovative nutritional approach to fall prevention.
Classic fall prevention plans function well for most Plainville chiropractic family members. Cleaning up clutter, wearing shoes, repairing tripping hazards, taping down rugs or removing them, mounting grab bars in the bathroom, and even living in a home that is all on one level with no steps are all fall preventative ways to keep safe. Taking care of any health issues like dizziness or joint pain or shortness of breath or balance is crucial as those may also instigate a fall, too. 52.6% of patients with mild cognitive impairment and 51.4% Alzheimer’s disease patients tend to fall. It’s essential for these patients to take more time to sit and not hurry. (1) Layden Chiropractic can help evaluate health risks like these and others to help our Plainville chiropractic patients remain on their feet! Physical activity and exercise are fundamental to maintain your strength. As our Plainville chiropractic patients age, more gentle exercises are proposed like walking, water classes, tai chi, yoga, and/or Pilates. Together, Layden Chiropractic and our Plainville chiropractic care patients discover something that works!
Like including some nutrition: A fresh fall prevention proposal is to incorporate calcium and vitamin D together daily. A review of 26 articles comprising over 16,500 patients revealed that combined vitamin D plus calcium supplementation significantly decreases the fall risk. Vitamin D2 or D3 alone didn’t have such a result. It’s the combination that works! (2) Layden Chiropractic sees this to be very helpful when talking with our Plainville patients about their nutrition, especially with those who tend to be at higher risk for falls.
