Is Vitamin D essential? It
sure is! So many of us in Vancouver are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some places in the world! Vitamin D influences a variety of bodily functions, and your Vancouver chiropractor
treats so many of those bodily functions. Vancouver Disc Centers
encourages Vancouver chiropractic patients to include vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to protect their health, enhance
their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D
deficiencies. Vancouver 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 reduced 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. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone
mineral density and decrease the risk of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women have vitamin D deficiency which potentially
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 are inclined
to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Vancouver Disc Centers welcomes
its role in helping Vancouver back pain sufferers realize
as functional a life as possible which may include directing
patients to improve 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, impeded 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 increases the risk of back pain, especially
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past
such fractures and less prone to exercising regularly. (6) Vancouver Disc Centers views these as
valuable causes to correct
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
