Is Vitamin D essential? You bet it is! So many of us in Malverne are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some places in the world! Vitamin D impacts so
many bodily functions, and your Malverne chiropractor
works with so many of those bodily functions. Malverne Health & Wellness
encourages Malverne chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enrich
their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D
deficiencies. Malverne 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 precede issues
like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result
in decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation,
disability as well as falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia
and rickets may also result from vitamin D
deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, taking
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone
mineral density and decrease the risk of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women have vitamin D deficiency which potentially
increases 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 are inclined
to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Malverne Health & Wellness appreciates
its role in helping Malverne back pain sufferers achieve
as functional a life as possible which may include instructing
patients to improve 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 caused
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 improves
muscle function and help bone. (5) Osteoporotic
vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, particularly
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past
such fractures and less disposed to exercising regularly. (6) Malverne Health & Wellness views these as
worthy causes to correct
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
