The gut and osteoporosis. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may
actually be connected beyond the fact that they both take place in the
body. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in bone health deterioration. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in problems
with digestion. Researchers now
are discovering ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office helps Groton
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Groton osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health modification
with probiotic use has grown to be more mainstream
recently 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 influences
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is yet unknown. A study that tried
to figure this out did discover that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
disparity in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office sees these new discoveries involving gut
health and osteoporosis as being helpful in guiding Groton
osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Groton chiropractic care of osteoporosis is multifaceted
including 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 address osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex
improved the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also changed
levels of the serum bone markers. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is enthused it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
