Concord, NC Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. Some are rising stars in the Concord, NC bone health and even Concord, NC back pain relief areas. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a few of the reasons. Pure Chiropractic shares new research behind the testing of B vitamin levels and adjusting any low levels with diet and supplementation as appropriate.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We are aging. We’re not alone in this. Globally, aging is growing. Along with aging comes the growth of osteoporotic fracture incidence and morbidity, mortality, and cost related to those fractures. It is quite an unpleasant circle! Preventing osteoporosis and enhancing the health of bone is a reasonable goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown good as has supplementing with B vitamins. Recent researchers state that support continues to grow for the possible protective role of B vitamins especially B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research suggested that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one option to contain any adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation. (1) It’s important to get the right blend of B vitamins to be optimal for bone health. Pure Chiropractic will work with you to find out what is best for you and your bones.
BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For a long time, Pure Chiropractic has read about the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the newest review article of 29 studies supports testing and supplementation of B vitamins. 14 studies reported that blood tests revealing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are signs of risk for decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, especially women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) enhanced BMD in another study. Taking B6 reduced the risk of hip fracture. These findings prompted the researchers to propose that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is crucial. They even went so far as to write it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is imperative for Concord, NC bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in managing inflammatory chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, lowering CRP, etc. The roles of B vitamins – thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin – in back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders lean toward being anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory.

Pure Chiropractic offers that these effects are helpful in dealing with back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and issues that involve bone and spine health via nutrition.
