Is Vitamin D important? Absolutely! Many
McHenry folks are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some areas in the world! Vitamin D influences so
many bodily functions, and your McHenry chiropractor
works with so many of those bodily functions. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic
encourages McHenry chiropractic patients to include vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance
their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D
deficiencies. McHenry 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 be caused by vitamin D
deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, using
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone
mineral density and reduce the risk of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women experience 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 tend to have low vitamin D levels. (3) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic appreciates
its role in helping McHenry back pain sufferers attain
as functional a life as possible which may encompass directing
patients to increase 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 instigated
by taking denosumab, impeded bone metabolism, and increased
bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and improves
muscle function and help bone. (5) Osteoporotic
vertebral fracture increases the risk of back pain, particularly
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past
such fractures and less prone to exercising routinely. (6) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic sees these as
valuable causes to improve
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
