Carrolltown Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D important? It sure is! So many of us in Carrolltown are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some places in the world! Vitamin D influences so many bodily functions, and your Carrolltown chiropractor takes care of so many of those bodily functions. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages Carrolltown chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to protect their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D deficiencies. Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plans are not just devised for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well lead to issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability as well as falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also be caused by vitamin D deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, using a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone mineral density and decrease the chance of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women have vitamin D deficiency which potentially raises 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 are inclined to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation welcomes its role in helping Carrolltown back pain sufferers realize as functional a life as possible which may encompass instructing patients to increase 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 decrease in calcium caused 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 enhances muscle function and help bone.  (5) Osteoporotic vertebral fracture increases the risk of back pain, especially in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and prior such fractures and less prone to exercising regularly.  (6) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation views these as worthy reasons to correct vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
