The gut and osteoporosis. They
may not seem be connected conditions 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 problems
with digestion. Researchers today
are finding ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps Manahawkin
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Manahawkin osteoporosis is very common. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change
with probiotic use has become more commonplace
recently to help 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
address bone mass regulation which affects
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
microbiota. How these are associated 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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center finds
these new discoveries linking gut health and
osteoporosis helpful in planning the
Manahawkin osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Manahawkin chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
including spinal manipulation via the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing
osteoporosis as a condition likely encompassing 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 changed
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
