Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D important? It sure is! So many of us in Ashburn and Herndon 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 Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor works with so many of those bodily functions. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn encourages Ashburn and Herndon 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. Ashburn and Herndon 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, using a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone mineral density and lessen 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn welcomes its role in helping Ashburn and Herndon back pain sufferers achieve as functional a life as possible which may involve 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 decrease in calcium caused by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and increased bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enriches muscle function and help bone.  (5) Osteoporotic vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, especially in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and prior such fractures and less prone to exercising routinely.  (6) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn views these as worthy motives to correct vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
