Manahawkin Back Pain Care and Bone Health Supported by B vitamins
B vitamins. There are many B vitamins. Some are becoming stars in the Manahawkin bone health and even Manahawkin back pain relief areas. Aging, osteoporosis, back pain, and related fractures are a handful of the reasons. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center presents recent research supporting the testing of B vitamin levels and adjusting any reduced levels with diet and supplementation as applicable.
AGING, OSTEOPOROSIS, FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
We’re aging. We are 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 reasonable goal when considering aging. Dietary modification has been shown valuable as has the supplementation of B vitamins. Recent researchers state that support keeps growing 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 option to contain any adverse effects of high-dose B vitamin supplementation. (1) It’s important to get the right mix of B vitamins to be optimal for bone health. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center will work with you to find out what is best for you and your bones.
BONE, BMD, HIP FRACTURE, VITAMIN B
For years, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 signs of risk for decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in older people, especially 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 went so far as to state it is mandatory. (2) Vitamin B is valuable for Manahawkin bone health!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFIT OF VITAMIN B
B vitamins may well be a link in controlling inflammatory chemicals through homocysteine control, methylation, decreasing 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.

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers that these effects are helpful in managing back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and issues that involve bone and spine health via nutrition.
