The gut and osteoporosis. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may
actually be connected beyond the fact that they both are internal body issues. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated
bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestive problems. Researchers now
are finding links between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn helps Ashburn
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Ashburn osteoporosis is very common. So are gut issues. Gut health change
with probiotic use has become more mainstream
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Now,
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 linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that attempted
to figure this out did discover that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
difference in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn finds
these new discoveries connecting gut health and
osteoporosis helpful in managing Ashburn
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Ashburn chiropractic care of osteoporosis is multifaceted
including spinal manipulation via the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Looking at
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 the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also changed
levels of the serum bone markers. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and related
symptoms. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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.
