Is Vitamin D essential? It
sure is! So many of us in Baton Rouge are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some places in the world! Vitamin D influences a variety of bodily functions, and your Baton Rouge chiropractor
treats so many of those bodily functions. Spine & Sports Rehab Center
encourages Baton Rouge chiropractic patients to include vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to protect their health, enrich
their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D
deficiencies. Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plans are not just devised
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 as well as 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, using
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone
mineral density and reduce the chance 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 are inclined
to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Spine & Sports Rehab Center appreciates
its role in helping Baton Rouge back pain sufferers attain
as functional a life as possible which may involve 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 reduction in calcium produced
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 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 past
such fractures and less disposed to exercising regularly. (6) Spine & Sports Rehab Center views these as
worthy causes to correct
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
