November 14, 2017

Is Vitamin D essential? Absolutely! Many Largo folks are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some places in the world! Vitamin D influences a variety of bodily functions, and your Largo chiropractor treats so many of those bodily functions. Hollstrom & Associates Inc encourages Largo chiropractic patients to include vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D deficiencies. Largo chiropractic treatment plans are not just devised 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 reduced muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability and falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also stem from15 vitamin D deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of vertebral fractures. (1)  88% of Indian women have vitamin D deficiency which possibly increases 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 tend to have low vitamin D levels. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc embraces its role in helping Largo back pain sufferers attain as functional a life as possible which may encompass instructing patients to boost 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 in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enriches 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 disposed to exercising routinely.  (6) Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees these as valuable causes to improve vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
