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

A natural approach, nutrition, is often incorporated into our Oxford chiropractic services' treatment plan. Science is continually discovering and publishing new information about nutritional health. For example, flax seed may benefit osteoporosis!

Satterwhite Chiropractic's chiropractic team enjoys sharing new information based on recent findings which may help many of our Oxford 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 suggest that the ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) in the flax seed oil, not necessarily the lignan fraction of flax seeds, is key. Their conclusion is that eating flax seeds while on estrogen therapy or taking flax seed oil alone is best for supplementation to enhance bone-protection. (2)

So, Oxford osteoporosis people, continue taking your calcium and Vitamin D3 for osteoporosis and coming to Satterwhite Chiropractic for chiropractic care, but acquire a taste for flax seed! See if you can find a Oxford 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 Oxford chiropractic center, Satterwhite Chiropractic, to work in an all-natural approach to osteoporosis with chiropractic!
