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 bone health deterioration. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in problems
with digestion. Researchers now
are discovering ties between gut health and
osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Novelli Wellness Center helps Orchard Park, NY
chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Orchard Park, NY osteoporosis is quite
prevalent. So are gut issues. Gut health change
via the use of probiotics has become more mainstream
in recent years to help chronic diseases like autoimmune
and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Now,
researchers are looking at the health of the gut microbiome to
deal with bone mass regulation which affects
osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and modified
microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal
osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that tried
to sort this out did discover that there was decreased
bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant
disparity in levels of phyla and genera in gut
microbiota. (2) Novelli Wellness Center sees these new discoveries linking gut
health and osteoporosis as being useful in planning the
Orchard Park, NY osteoporosis treatment plan.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Orchard Park, NY chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex
incorporating spinal manipulation via 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
improved the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also changed
levels of the serum bone markers. This
supplement intervention of chondroitin and calcium has the potential
to ease osteoporosis and related
symptoms. (3) Novelli Wellness Center 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.
