Sleep.
Cooperation. Vitamin E. Vitamin D. Calcium. Quercetin. Exercise. So many approaches
to help osteoporosis!
And how
does Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries help our Manchester chiropractic patients with
osteoporosis deal with it? In all ways we can! Osteoporosis is a multifaceted
disease that has consequences for older folks but can be
prevented if prepared for when we’re young folks. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries hopes our
Manchester chiropractic patients take heed
of a few of these morsels of information as they apply to the men and women,
old and young of our families.
First, women
and men. Women are often the ones warned about osteoporotic fractures and DEXA
scans schedules and are the focus of osteoporosis discussions, but in one study
45% of men over 65 years of age have osteoporosis. (1) Can you believe that?
Listen up, Manchester men!
Second,
osteoporosis is really a disease of youth, not necessarily of the elderly. Bone
mass is built when we’re young. Youthful Manchester chiropractic clients
will want to encourage their kids to join them in being proactive with their
diets, exercise routines, and lifestyles to ward off Manchester
osteoporosis-related problems later in life.
And what
are some of the steps to deal with osteoporosis? One is sleep.
Disturbed sleep affects with bone stiffness, a marker of osteoporosis. Poor
sleep quality is related to osteoporosis! (2) Another is cooperating with a set
treatment plan. Those at risk for osteoporosis may not “get it,” may not get
their risk for fracture and won’t do what they have to do to deal with it until
they see what osteoporosis does to their bones via drawings and other visuals. (3)
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries works to be sure our Manchester chiropractic patients
understand well their condition and the treatment plan best to address the
problem. Another step is supplementation: Vitamin E for supporting bone
structure (4) and keeping away the free radicals in the body as an antioxidant
(5), Vitamin D and calcium for bone matrix structure (6), chondroitin sulfate
for stimulating bone formation (7), and quercetin for protection against
osteoporosis as it is able to scavenge free radicals and keep them from
damaging cells that make up bone (8). Then, there is exercise: Treadmill
exercise prevents senile osteoporosis. (9) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries has a treatment plan with
clear steps to deal with osteoporosis for Manchester chiropractic
patients and their loved ones.
Now, one
article reported that general medical practitioners were
ambivalent, unsure about the impact of osteoporosis. They felt other diseases
were more important than osteoporosis. They weren’t sure of guidelines to care
for osteoporosis. They were also worried about the financial side of
osteoporosis care and how their patients would deal with it. (10) Know that Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries
isn’t at all hesitant when it comes to
osteoporosis. Manchester osteoporosis
fractures are real. Manchester osteoporosis means of prevention
are real. Manchester osteoporosis means of treatment are real.
