chiropractic care is a natural approach to healing. As chiropractors, we help our patients seek safe alternatives to medications and surgery when possible. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers, of course, recognizes the importance of medication, and sometimes the necessary roles these interventions play, but we try to help our patients who so desire to cope without them.

A natural approach, nutrition, is often a vital component added into our Baton Rouge chiropractic services' treatment plan. We never know what may arise in the literature as being beneficial. For example, flax seed may benefit osteoporosis!

Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers's chiropractic team enjoys sharing new information based on recent findings which may help many of our Baton Rouge osteoporosis patients. We've shared a cornucopia of information on bone nutrition and how important it is to feed your bones; particularly when you endure osteoporosis. For years, the benefits of calcium and Vitamin D3 - and even beer due to its silicon content and benefit for bone mineral density, but that's an article for another time! (1) - for osteoporosis have been touted.

A new study touts flax seed supplementation as being bone-protective. The researchers suggest that the ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) in the flax seed oil, not necessarily the lignan fraction of flax seeds, is key. Their conclusion is that eating flax seeds while on estrogen therapy or taking flax seed oil alone is best for supplementation to enhance bone-protection. (2)

So, Baton Rouge osteoporosis sufferers, continue taking your calcium and Vitamin D3 for osteoporosis and coming to Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers for chiropractic care, but acquire a taste for flax seed! See if you can find a Baton Rouge restaurant using flax seeds in their recipes. Try the seeds or use flax seed oil for cooking or in a salad dressing. You - and your osteoporotic bones or pre-osteoporotic bones! - may very-well like and even benefit from it!

Check out the flaxseed research for osteoporosis, then contact your Baton Rouge chiropractic center, Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers, to work in an all-natural approach to osteoporosis with chiropractic!
