St Peters Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. A few are becoming stars in the St Peters bone health and even St Peters back pain relief worlds. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a few of the reasons. Old Mill Chiropractic presents recent research behind the testing of B vitamin levels and addressing any low levels with diet and supplementation as appropriate.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We are aging. We’re not alone in this. Globally, aging is growing. Along with aging comes the growth of osteoporotic fracture incidence and morbidity, mortality, and cost related to those fractures. It is quite an unpleasant circle! Preventing osteoporosis and improving the health of bone is a fair goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown effective as has supplementing with B vitamins. Recent researchers wrote that support continues to enlarge for the possible protective role of B vitamins particularly B2, B6, folate (B9), and B12 for bone health. Research mentioned that eating vitamin B enriched foods is one way to go to contain any adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation. (1) It’s important to get the right blend of B vitamins to be optimal for bone health. Old Mill Chiropractic will work with you to find out what is best for you and your bones.
BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For a long time, Old Mill Chiropractic has studied the suggestions of Vitamin B for bone health, and the latest review article of 29 studies supports testing and supplementation of B vitamins. 14 studies stated that blood tests revealing low serum levels of folate (vitamin B9) are indicators of risk for decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, particularly women. Taking folate vitamin B9 (500mcg-5mg a day) enhanced BMD in another study. Taking B6 reduced the risk of hip fracture. These findings prompted the researchers to suggest that checking folate and homocysteine blood levels in elderly patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis is vital. They even go so far as to state it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is imperative for St Peters 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.

Old Mill Chiropractic offers that these effects are helpful in managing back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and issues involving bone and spine health via nutrition.
