At Risk of Falling? Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Suggests Calcium plus Vitamin D
Falling hurts at any age. Falling for older Fernandina Beach folks can be much more damaging though. Broken hips, broken wrists, vertebral fractures may be end results. Independence may slip away while healing. Fernandina Beach fall prevention is vital, and Amelia Chiropractic Clinic encourages all Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients and their families be attentive to fall prevention strategies in addition to an innovative nutritional approach to preventing falls.
Classic fall prevention plans function well for most Fernandina Beach chiropractic family members. Clearing the clutter, wearing shoes, getting rid of any tripping hazards, taping down rugs or removing them, mounting grab bars in the bathroom, and even living in a one level home are all fall preventative ways to keep safe. Dealing with any health issues like dizziness or joint pain or shortness of breath or balance is crucial as those may also trigger a fall, also. 52.6% of patients with mild cognitive impairment and 51.4% Alzheimer’s disease patients tend to fall. It’s valuable for these patients to carefully sit and not hurry. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic can help evaluate health risks like these and others to ensure our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients stay on their feet! Physical activity and exercise are basic to keep you strong. As our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients age, more gentle exercises are advised like walking, water classes, tai chi, yoga, and/or Pilates. Together, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic and our Fernandina Beach chiropractic care patients uncover something that works!
Like including some nutrition: A fresh fall prevention idea is to include calcium and vitamin D together daily. A review of 26 articles comprising over 16,500 patients revealed that combined vitamin D plus calcium supplementation significantly decreases the fall risk. Vitamin D2 or D3 alone didn’t have such a result. It is the combination that does it! (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic finds this to be very helpful when talking with our Fernandina Beach patients about their nutrition, especially with those who tend to be at higher risk for falls.
