Osteoporosis and the gut. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may
actually be connected beyond the fact that they both take place in the
body. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in bone health deterioration. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestive problems. Researchers today
are discovering ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Layden Chiropractic helps Plainville
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Plainville osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change
with probiotic use has grown to be more commonplace
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Today,
researchers are looking at the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which affects
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that attempted
to figure this out did discover that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
contrast in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Layden Chiropractic finds
these new discoveries involving gut health and
osteoporosis useful in managing Plainville
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Plainville chiropractic care of osteoporosis is multifaceted
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 trying dietary approaches to deal
with osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
improved the BMD and microstructure of femur bone in rats with
osteoporosis. It also modified
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and related
symptoms. (3) Layden Chiropractic is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
