La Grande Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D
Is Vitamin D important? Absolutely! So many of us in La Grande 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 La Grande chiropractor takes care of so many of those bodily functions. Dr. 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 accompany 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 be caused by 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.

(2) Children with scoliosis of mean age of 13.6 years before corrective spinal surgery are inclined to have have low vitamin D levels.

(4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enhances 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 past such fractures and less prone to exercising routinely.
