At Risk of Falling? Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic Suggests Calcium plus Vitamin D
Falling hurts at any age. Falling for older Montreal folks can be much more damaging though. Broken hips, broken wrists, vertebral fractures may result. Independence may be thwarted while healing. Montreal fall prevention is critical, and Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic recommends that all Montreal chiropractic patients and their families be attentive to fall prevention strategies in addition to an innovative nutritional approach to preventing falls.
Classic fall prevention plans function well for most Montreal chiropractic families. Clearing the clutter, wearing shoes, repairing tripping hazards, securing rugs or getting rid of them, mounting grab bars in the bathroom, and even living in a home that is all on one level with no steps are all ways to reduce fall risk. Dealing with any health issues like dizziness or joint pain or shortness of breath or balance is important as those might also cause a fall, also. 52.6% of patients with mild cognitive impairment and 51.4% Alzheimer’s disease patients tend to fall. It’s essential for these patients to carefully sit and not hurry. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic can help evaluate health risks like these and others to help our Montreal chiropractic patients remain upright! Physical activity and exercise are fundamental to keep you strong. As our Montreal chiropractic patients age, more gentle exercises are advised like walking, water classes, tai chi, yoga, and/or Pilates. Together, Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic and our Montreal chiropractic care patients discover something that works!
Like including some nutrition: A current fall prevention proposal is to incorporate calcium and vitamin D together daily. A review of 26 articles comprising over 16,500 patients revealed that combined vitamin D plus calcium supplementation significantly decreases the fall risk. Vitamin D2 or D3 alone didn’t have such a result. It is the combination that does it! (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic finds this to be very useful when discussing nutrition with our Montreal chiropractic patients, particularly with those who tend to be at higher risk for falls.
