Augusta Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. Some are rising stars in the Augusta bone health and even Augusta back pain relief areas. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a handful of the reasons. Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic presents recent research behind the testing of B vitamin levels and adjusting any reduced levels with diet and supplementation as appropriate.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We are aging. We’re not alone in it. Globally, aging is growing. Along with aging comes the growth of osteoporotic fracture incidence and morbidity, mortality, and cost related to such fractures. It’s quite a vicious cycle! Preventing osteoporosis and enhancing the health of bone is a fair goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown valuable as has the supplementation of B vitamins. Recent researchers state that support keeps enlarging for the possible protective role of B vitamins especially B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research suggested that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one option to contain any adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation.

BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For a long time, Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic has read about the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the newest review article of 29 studies supports testing and supplementation of B vitamins. 14 studies stated that blood tests showing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are indicators of risk for reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, particularly women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) improved BMD in another study. Taking B6 reduced the risk of hip fracture. These findings lead the researchers to propose that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is vital. They even go so far as to write it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is important for Augusta bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in controlling inflammatory chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, lowering CRP, etc. The roles of B vitamins – thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin – in back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders tend toward being anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory.

Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic offers that these effects are beneficial in managing back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and issues affecting bone and spine health via nutrition.
