St Peters Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D essential? It sure is! So many of us in St Peters are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some areas in the world! Vitamin D influences so many bodily functions, and your St Peters chiropractor takes care of so many of those bodily functions. Old Mill Chiropractic encourages St Peters chiropractic patients to include vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D deficiencies. St Peters chiropractic treatment plans are not just developed for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well precede issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability and falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also result from vitamin D deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps boost bone mineral density and decrease the chance 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 tend to have low vitamin D levels. (3) Old Mill Chiropractic appreciates its role in helping St Peters back pain sufferers achieve as functional a life as possible which may involve directing patients to boost 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 instigated by taking denosumab, impeded bone metabolism, and increased bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enriches muscle function and help bone.  (5) Osteoporotic vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, especially in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past such fractures and less prone to exercising routinely.  (6) Old Mill Chiropractic sees these as good causes to correct vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
