At Risk of Falling? Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Suggests Calcium plus Vitamin D
Falling hurts at any age. Falling for older Fort Wayne folks may be much worse. Broken hips, broken wrists, vertebral fractures may be end results. Independence may slip away while healing. Fort Wayne fall prevention is critical, and Aaron Chiropractic Clinic recommends that all Fort Wayne chiropractic patients and their families be attentive to fall prevention strategies as well as an innovative nutritional approach to fall prevention.
Classic fall prevention plans function well for most Fort Wayne chiropractic family members. Cleaning up clutter, wearing shoes, getting rid of any tripping hazards, securing rugs or removing them, mounting grab bars in the bathroom, and even living in a one level home are all fall preventative ways to keep safe. Taking care of any health issues like dizziness or joint pain or shortness of breath or balance is crucial as those might also instigate a fall, also. 52.6% of patients with mild cognitive impairment and 51.4% Alzheimer’s disease patients tend to fall. It is important for these patients to carefully sit and not hurry. (1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic can help evaluate health risks like these and others to ensure our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients remain on their feet! Physical activity and exercise are essential to maintain your strength. As our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients age, more gentle exercises are suggested like walking, water classes, tai chi, yoga, and/or Pilates. Together, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic and our Fort Wayne chiropractic care patients find something that works!
Like adding some nutrition: A new fall prevention proposal is to incorporate calcium and vitamin D together into the daily supplementation habit. A review of 26 articles comprising over 16,500 patients revealed that combined vitamin D plus calcium supplementation significantly decreases the fall risk. Vitamin D2 or D3 alone didn’t have such an effect. It’s the combination that does it! (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic sees this to be very useful when discussing nutrition with our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients, particularly with those who are more likely to be at higher risk for falls.
