Groton Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. Some are rising stars in the Groton bone health and even Groton back pain relief worlds. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a few of the reasons. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office presents recent research behind the testing of B vitamin levels and adjusting any reduced levels with diet and supplementation as applicable.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We are aging. We are not alone in it. Globally, aging is growing. Along with aging comes the growth of osteoporotic fracture incidence and morbidity, mortality, and cost related to such fractures. It’s quite a vicious cycle! Preventing osteoporosis and enhancing the health of bone is a fair goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown valuable as has the supplementation of B vitamins. Recent researchers wrote that support keeps growing for the possible protective role of B vitamins especially B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research mentioned that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one way to go to contain any adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation. (1) It’s important to get the right mix of B vitamins to be optimal for bone health. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office will collaborate with you to discover what’s best for you and your bones.
BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For a long time, Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office has studied the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the latest review article of 29 studies supports testing and supplementation of B vitamins. 14 studies stated that blood tests showing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are indicators of risk for decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, particularly women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) improved BMD in another study. Taking B6 reduced the risk of hip fracture. These findings prompted the researchers to suggest that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is crucial. They even go so far as to say it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is imperative for Groton bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in managing inflammatory chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, decreasing 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.
