The gut and osteoporosis. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may
actually be connected beyond the fact that they both are internal body issues. 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. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic helps Montreal
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Montreal osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health change
with probiotic use has grown to be more commonplace
recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Today,
researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to
address bone mass regulation which affects
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is linked
to a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and altered
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) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic finds
these new discoveries involving gut health and
osteoporosis useful in planning the
Montreal osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Montreal chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
incorporating spinal manipulation by way of the
gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing
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 the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also modified
levels of the serum bone markers. This
dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is well versed in
the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also be beneficial
for osteoporosis.
