Montreal Chiropractic Nutrition: Gut, Bone, Chondroitin Sulfate
Osteoporosis and the gut. They may not seem be connected conditions beyond the fact that they both are internal body issues. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestive problems. Researchers now are finding links between gut health and osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic helps Montreal chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Montreal osteoporosis is quite prevalent. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change via the use of probiotics has grown to be more commonplace in recent years to help chronic diseases like autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases as well as diabetes and cancer. Now, researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to address bone mass regulation which affects osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is linked to a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and modified microbiota. How these are associated in postmenopausal osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that attempted to figure this out did find that there was decreased bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant disparity in levels of phyla and genera in gut microbiota. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic finds these new discoveries connecting gut health and osteoporosis useful in managing Montreal osteoporosis treatment planning.
DIETARY HELP FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Montreal chiropractic care of osteoporosis is complex incorporating spinal manipulation via the gentle Cox® Technic protocols, exercise, and nutrition. Framing osteoporosis as a condition likely involving the microbiota of the gut, researchers are now trying dietary approaches to address osteoporosis. Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex enhanced the BMD and microstructure of the osteoporotic femur bone in a rat study. It also modified levels of the serum bone markers. This dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and its symptomatology. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is well versed in the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is excited that it may also benefit osteoporosis.
