Ashburn and Herndon OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just finding the people who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to prevent a hip fracture is sometimes a trick!

DRUGS AND Ashburn and Herndon OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and associated issues like mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Some pharmaceutical products are reported to change bone structure and influence the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were highly linked to these fractures in a review of 38 studies on the subject: antiparkinsonian drugs, antidepressants, anxiolytic drugs, antipsychotic drugs, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, and thyroid hormone. One drug intervention was linked to a reduced risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers proposed to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: details about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good advice. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.
Ashburn and Herndon CHIROPRACTIC SUGGESTED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND HIP FRACTURE REDUCTION
As hip fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis, a non-drug approach like multivitamin use and its effect on hip fracture risk is most interesting. A meta-analysis found 8 studies on hip fracture risk and multivitamin use. 80,148 subjects – 4237 of them had a fragility hip fracture – were reviewed. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already very popular and widely used. Their use was found to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture.
