The gut and osteoporosis. 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 ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. New Roads Chiropractic Center helps New Roads
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
New Roads osteoporosis is very common. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change
via the use of probiotics has grown to be more commonplace
in recent years to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Today,
researchers are looking at the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which influences
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that tried
to figure this out did discover that there was decreased
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
disparity in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) New Roads Chiropractic Center sees these new discoveries involving gut
health and osteoporosis as being helpful in planning the
New Roads osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
New Roads 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 encompassing the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now trying 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
levels of the serum bone markers. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) New Roads Chiropractic Center is very familiar with
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is enthused it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
