The gut and osteoporosis. 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 problems
with digestion. Researchers today
are discovering links between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation helps Carrolltown
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Carrolltown osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health change
via the use of probiotics has become more mainstream
in recent years to help 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 linked
to a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. 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) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation finds
these new discoveries involving gut health and
osteoporosis useful in guiding Carrolltown
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Carrolltown chiropractic care of osteoporosis is multifaceted
incorporating spinal manipulation via 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
levels of the serum bone markers. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and related
symptoms. (3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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.
