Osteoporosis and the gut. They
may not seem be connected conditions 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 digestion problems. Researchers today
are discovering links between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries helps Manchester
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Manchester osteoporosis is very common. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change
with probiotic use has grown to be more mainstream
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Today,
researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to
address bone mass regulation which affects
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that tried
to figure this out did discover that there was decreased
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
contrast in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries finds
these new discoveries connecting gut health and
osteoporosis useful in planning the
Manchester osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Manchester chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
incorporating spinal manipulation by way of 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
improved the BMD and microstructure of femur bone in rats with
osteoporosis. It also modified
levels of the serum bone markers. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is very familiar with
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is excited
that it may also benefit osteoporosis.
