Osteoporosis and the gut. They
may not seem be connected conditions 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 now
are discovering ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center helps Pensacola
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Pensacola osteoporosis is very common. So are gut issues. Gut health modification
via the use of probiotics has become more mainstream
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Now,
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 modified
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that tried
to figure 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) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center sees these new discoveries involving gut
health and osteoporosis as being helpful in planning the
Pensacola osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Pensacola 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 using dietary approaches to deal
with osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
enhanced the BMD and microstructure of femur bone in rats with
osteoporosis. It also modified
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and related
symptoms. (3) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is excited
that it may also benefit osteoporosis.
