Is Vitamin D essential? It

West Des Moines folks are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some areas in the world! Vitamin D impacts a variety of bodily functions, and your West Des Moines chiropractor

encourages West Des Moines chiropractic patients to include vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enhance
their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D
deficiencies. West Des Moines 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 precede 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 result from vitamin D
deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, using
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps increase bone
mineral density and reduce the chance of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women experience vitamin D deficiency which potentially
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 are inclined
to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa embraces
its role in helping West Des Moines back pain sufferers achieve
as functional a life as possible which may involve instructing
patients to increase 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 produced
by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and increased
bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and improves
muscle function and help bone. (5) Osteoporotic
vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, particularly
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and prior
such fractures and less prone to exercising regularly. (6) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa views these as
worthy causes to improve
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
