chiropractic care is a natural approach to healing. As chiropractors, we help our patients seek safe alternatives to medications and surgery when it's feasible. Old Mill Chiropractic, of course, understands the importance of medication, and sometimes the necessary roles these interventions play, but we strive to help our patients who so desire to manage pain without them.

A natural approach, nutrition, is often a vital component added into our St Peters chiropractic services' treatment plan. We never know what may arise in the literature as being beneficial. For example, flax seed may hinder the progression of osteoporosis!

Old Mill Chiropractic's chiropractic team enjoys new findings, and this one, we can see, may help many of our St Peters osteoporosis patients. We've shared a cornucopia of information on bone nutrition and how important it is to feed your bones; particularly when you suffer from osteoporosis. For years, the benefits of calcium and Vitamin D3 - and even beer due to its silicon content and benefit for bone mineral density, but that's an article for another time! (1) - for osteoporosis have been touted.

A new study proclaims flax seed supplementation as being bone-protective. The researchers propose that the ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) in the flax seed oil, not necessarily the lignan fraction of flax seeds, is key. They summarize it by saying, eating flax seeds while on estrogen therapy or taking flax seed oil alone is best for supplementation to enhance bone-protection. (2)

So, St Peters osteoporosis sufferers, continue taking your calcium and Vitamin D3 for osteoporosis and coming to Old Mill Chiropractic for chiropractic care, but acquire a taste for flax seed! See if you can find a St Peters restaurant using flax seeds in their recipes. Try the seeds or use flax seed oil for cooking or in a salad dressing. You - and your osteoporotic bones or pre-osteoporotic bones! - may very-well like and even benefit from it!

Check out the flaxseed research for osteoporosis, then contact your St Peters chiropractic center, Old Mill Chiropractic, to work in a natural approach to osteoporosis with chiropractic!
