Is Vitamin D important? You bet it is! So many of us in Baton Rouge are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some areas in the world! Vitamin D impacts so
many bodily functions, and your Baton Rouge chiropractor
treats so many of those bodily functions. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation
encourages Baton Rouge 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. Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plans are not just developed
for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.
THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
Vitamin D deficiencies may well lead to issues
like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result
in reduced muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation,
disability and falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia
and rickets may also stem from15 vitamin D
deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, using
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps boost bone
mineral density and decrease the risk of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women have vitamin D deficiency which potentially
increases 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) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation appreciates
its role in helping Baton Rouge back pain sufferers achieve
as functional a life as possible which may encompass directing
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, impeded bone metabolism, and increased
bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and improves
muscle function and help bone. (5) Osteoporotic
vertebral fracture increases the risk of back pain, especially
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past
such fractures and less prone to exercising regularly. (6) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation sees these as
good causes to correct
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
