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 finding links between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Back And Neck Care Center helps Severna Park
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Severna Park osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health change
with probiotic use has grown to be more commonplace
in recent years to help chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Now,
researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which influences
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that attempted
to sort this out did find that there was decreased
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
contrast in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Back And Neck Care Center sees these new discoveries involving gut
health and osteoporosis as being helpful in planning the
Severna Park osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Severna Park chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
including 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 using dietary approaches to address osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
enhanced the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also modified
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Back And Neck Care Center is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also benefit osteoporosis.
