Osteoporosis and the gut. They
may not seem be connected conditions beyond the fact that they both take place in the
body. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated
bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestive problems. Researchers today
are finding ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Chiropractic Solutions helps San Jose
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
San Jose osteoporosis is very common. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change
with probiotic use has grown to be more commonplace
in recent years to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Today,
researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which affects
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that attempted
to sort 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) Chiropractic Solutions sees these new discoveries involving gut
health and osteoporosis as being helpful in guiding San Jose
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
San Jose chiropractic care of osteoporosis is multifaceted
including spinal manipulation via the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing
osteoporosis as a condition likely encompassing the microbiota
of the gut, researchers are now trying dietary approaches to address osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
enhanced the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also changed
the serum bone turnover marker levels. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Chiropractic Solutions is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also benefit osteoporosis.
