At Risk of Falling? Rosenberg Wellness Center Suggests Calcium plus Vitamin D
Falling hurts at any age. Falling for older New York City folks may be much worse. Broken hips, broken wrists, vertebral fractures may be end results. Independence may slip away while healing. New York City fall prevention is so important, and Rosenberg Wellness Center encourages all New York City chiropractic patients and their families be attentive to fall prevention strategies in addition to an innovative nutritional approach to fall prevention.
Classic fall prevention plans function well for most New York City chiropractic family members. Clearing the clutter, wearing shoes, repairing tripping hazards, securing rugs or removing them, mounting grab bars in the bathroom, and even living in a home that is all on one level with no steps are all ways to reduce fall risk. Dealing with any health issues like dizziness or joint pain or shortness of breath or balance is important as those might also cause a fall, too. 52.6% of patients with mild cognitive impairment and 51.4% Alzheimer’s disease patients tend to fall. It’s valuable for these patients to take more time to sit and not hurry. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center can help evaluate health risks like these and others to ensure our New York City chiropractic patients remain on their feet! Physical activity and exercise are essential to maintain your strength. As our New York City chiropractic patients age, more gentle exercises are advised like walking, water classes, tai chi, yoga, and/or Pilates. Together, Rosenberg Wellness Center and our New York City chiropractic care patients find something that works!
Like including some nutrition: A fresh fall prevention notion is to include calcium and vitamin D together into the daily supplementation routine. A review of 26 articles comprising over 16,500 patients revealed that combined vitamin D plus calcium supplementation significantly reduces the fall risk. Vitamin D2 or D3 alone did not have such a result. It is the combination that does it! (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center sees this to be quite useful when discussing nutrition with our New York City chiropractic patients, especially with those who are more likely to be at higher risk for falls.
