Groton Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D important? You bet it is! Many Groton folks 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 Groton chiropractor treats so many of those bodily functions. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office encourages Groton chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to protect their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D deficiencies. Groton chiropractic treatment plans are not just devised for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Vitamin D deficiencies may well lead to issues like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result in reduced muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability as well as falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also stem from15 vitamin D deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, using a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone mineral density and lessen the chance of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women have vitamin D deficiency which possibly raises 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 tend to have low vitamin D levels. (3) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office welcomes its role in helping Groton back pain sufferers achieve as functional a life as possible which may involve directing 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 reduction in calcium produced by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and raised bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture as well as sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enhances 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 past such fractures and less prone to exercising routinely.  (6) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office sees these as good motives to improve vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
