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 deteriorated
bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestive problems. Researchers now
are finding ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Cross Chiropractic Center helps Sandy Springs
chiropractic patients experiencing both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Sandy Springs osteoporosis is very common. So are gut issues. Gut health change
with probiotic use has become more mainstream
recently to help chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Now,
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 altered
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that tried
to figure this out did discover that there was reduced
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
contrast in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Cross Chiropractic Center sees these new discoveries linking gut
health and osteoporosis as being helpful in planning the
Sandy Springs osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Sandy Springs chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
including spinal manipulation by way of the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Looking at
osteoporosis as a condition likely involving 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 femur bone in rats with
osteoporosis. It also changed
levels of the serum bone markers. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Cross Chiropractic Center is very familiar with
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is excited
that it may also benefit osteoporosis.
