Is Vitamin D important? Absolutely! Many
La Grande folks are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some areas in the world! Vitamin D impacts a variety of bodily functions, and your La Grande chiropractor
takes care of so many of those bodily functions. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
encourages La Grande chiropractic patients to include vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enrich
their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D
deficiencies. La Grande chiropractic treatment plans are not just developed
for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.
THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
Vitamin D deficiencies may well lead to 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 result from vitamin D
deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps boost bone
mineral density and decrease the chance of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women experience 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) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC embraces
its role in helping La Grande back pain sufferers achieve
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 decrease in calcium instigated
by taking denosumab, impeded bone metabolism, and raised
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, particularly
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past
such fractures and less disposed to exercising routinely. (6) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC views these as
worthy reasons to correct
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
