November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D important? Absolutely! So many of us in Concord, NC are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some areas in the world! Vitamin D influences so many bodily functions, and your Concord, NC chiropractor treats so many of those bodily functions. Pure Chiropractic encourages Concord, NC chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enrich their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D deficiencies. Concord, NC chiropractic treatment plans are not just created 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 result from vitamin D deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone mineral density and decrease the chance of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women experience 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 are inclined to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Pure Chiropractic appreciates its role in helping Concord, NC back pain sufferers achieve as functional a life as possible which may involve instructing patients to boost 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 caused 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, especially in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and prior such fractures and less disposed to exercising regularly.  (6) Pure Chiropractic views these as good reasons to correct vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
