Montreal Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. A few are rising stars in the Montreal bone health and even Montreal back pain relief worlds. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a handful of the reasons. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic shares recent research supporting the testing of B vitamin levels and addressing any low levels with diet and supplementation as appropriate.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We’re aging. We are not alone in this. Globally, aging is growing. Along with aging comes the growth of osteoporotic fracture incidence and morbidity, mortality, and cost related to such fractures. It’s quite a vicious circle! Preventing osteoporosis and improving the health of bone is a fair goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown good as has supplementing with B vitamins. Recent researchers state that support keeps growing for the possible protective role of B vitamins especially B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research mentioned that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one option to contain any adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation.

BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For years, Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic has read about the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the newest review article of 29 studies supports testing and supplementation of B vitamins. 14 studies stated that blood tests revealing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are indicators of risk for decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, especially women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) improved BMD in another study. Taking B6 decreased the risk of hip fracture. These findings prompted the researchers to suggest that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is crucial. They even go so far as to say it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is imperative for Montreal bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in managing inflammatory chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, lowering CRP, etc. The roles of B vitamins – thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin – in back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders lean toward being anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory.

Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers that these effects are beneficial in dealing with back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and issues affecting bone and spine health via nutrition.
