Georgetown Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D
Is Vitamin D essential? It sure is! So many of us in Georgetown are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some areas in the world! Vitamin D impacts so many bodily functions, and your Georgetown chiropractor treats so many of those bodily functions. Dr. Butwell encourages Georgetown chiropractic patients to include vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D deficiencies. Georgetown chiropractic treatment plans are not just created 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 and 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 increase bone mineral density and reduce 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) Dr. Butwell embraces its role in helping Georgetown back pain sufferers achieve as functional a life as possible which may encompass instructing 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 increased 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, particularly in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past such fractures and less prone to exercising regularly. (6) Dr. Butwell sees these as valuable reasons to correct vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
