Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D essential? Absolutely! So many of us in Fernandina Beach are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some places in the world! Vitamin D impacts a variety of bodily functions, and your Fernandina Beach chiropractor treats so many of those bodily functions. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic encourages Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients to include vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D deficiencies. Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plans are not just created for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well precede issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability and falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also be caused by vitamin D deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women have vitamin D deficiency which possibly 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 tend to have low vitamin D levels. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic welcomes its role in helping Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers attain 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 instigated by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and increased bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture as well as sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enriches muscle function and help bone.  (5) Osteoporotic vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, particularly in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and prior such fractures and less disposed to exercising regularly.  (6) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic views these as good causes to correct vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
