Sitka Chiropractic Treatment Plan Incorporates Vitamin D

Is Vitamin D essential? You bet it is! So many of us in Sitka are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more in some places in the world! Vitamin D impacts a variety of bodily functions, and your Sitka chiropractor treats so many of those bodily functions. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka encourages Sitka chiropractic patients to include vitamin D in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enrich their health, and prevent issues that come with vitamin D deficiencies. Sitka chiropractic treatment plans are not just created 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 decreased muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation, disability and falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia and rickets may also stem from15 vitamin D deficiency. In spite of blood and urine levels of calcium, taking a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone mineral density and decrease the risk 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) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka appreciates its role in helping Sitka back pain sufferers achieve as functional a life as possible which may include instructing patients to boost their vitamin D levels.

PROTECT AND ENHANCE HEALTH WITH IMPROVED VITAMIN D LEVELS

(4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enhances 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 routinely.  (6) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka sees these as valuable motives to correct vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
