At Risk of Falling? Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Suggests Calcium plus Vitamin D
Falling hurts no matter how old you are. Falling for older Manahawkin folks may be much worse. Broken hips, broken wrists, vertebral fractures may result. Independence may be thwarted while healing. Manahawkin fall prevention is critical, and Manahawkin Chiropractic Center encourages all Manahawkin chiropractic patients and their families be attentive to fall prevention strategies as well as a new nutritional approach to preventing falls.
Classic fall prevention plans work for most Manahawkin chiropractic families. Clearing the clutter, wearing shoes, repairing tripping hazards, taping down rugs or removing them, installing grab bars in the bathroom, and even living in a one level home are all ways to reduce fall risk. Dealing with any health issues like dizziness or joint pain or shortness of breath or balance is crucial as those may also cause a fall, also. 52.6% of patients with mild cognitive impairment and 51.4% Alzheimer’s disease patients tend to fall. It is essential for these patients to carefully sit and not hurry. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can help assess health risks like these and others to help our Manahawkin chiropractic patients remain vertical! Physical activity and exercise are basic to keep you strong. As our Manahawkin chiropractic patients age, more gentle exercises are proposed like walking, water classes, tai chi, yoga, and/or Pilates. Together, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center and our Manahawkin chiropractic care patients uncover something that works!
Like adding some nutrition: A new fall prevention idea is to incorporate calcium and vitamin D together daily. A review of 26 articles encompassing over 16,500 patients found that combined vitamin D plus calcium supplementation significantly decreases the fall risk. Vitamin D2 or D3 alone didn’t have such an effect. It is the combination that does it! (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center sees this to be quite useful when discussing nutrition with our Manahawkin chiropractic patients, particularly with those who tend to be at higher risk for falls.
