The gut and osteoporosis. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may
actually be connected beyond the fact that they both are internal body issues. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated
bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestion problems. Researchers today
are discovering ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic helps Fernandina Beach
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Fernandina Beach osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health change
with probiotic use has become more commonplace
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Today,
researchers are looking at the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which influences
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is linked
to a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that tried
to sort this out did find that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
difference in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic sees these new discoveries connecting gut
health and osteoporosis as being useful in planning the
Fernandina Beach osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Fernandina Beach chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
incorporating spinal manipulation by way of the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Looking at
osteoporosis as a condition likely involving the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now trying dietary approaches to address osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
improved the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also changed
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is very familiar with
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is enthused it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
