American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology — Choi HG, et al. | February 15, 2019 Researchers investigated whether hysterectomy without/with bilateral oophorectomy (BO) is associated with the occurrence of osteoporosis using data from a national sample cohort from the Korean National Health Insurance Service. Data for patients who had undergone hysterectomy (n = 9,082) and […]
October 5, 2018 London (CNN) Vitamin D supplements do not improve bone mineral density or prevent fractures or falls in adults, finds a large study that advises health professionals to stop recommending the supplements to most patients. The vitamin has long been associated with a decreased risk of a number of conditions, such as osteoporosis and hypertension, […]
Gut microbiome shapes the immune system, which in turn regulates bone mass by Nancy Walsh, Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today October 03, 2018 MONTREAL — Probiotic treatment for 12 months led to significant improvements in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) among postmenopausal women, a researcher reported at the annual meeting of the American Society for […]
Healthline/Medical News Today | July 11, 2018 A European trial of approximately 1,150 people suggests that the Mediterranean diet could be good for bone health.

by Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Osteoporosis is reaching an epidemic status. It leads to 1.5 million fractures per year. The traditional way one is evaluated for osteoporosis is the standard Bone Density Test. Although important to have done, this is a static test and “only” provides information on the amount of bone that has […]
Bone Density Test A bone density test is the only test that can diagnose osteoporosis before a broken bone occurs. This test helps to estimate the density of your bones and your chance of breaking a bone. NOF recommends a bone density test of the hip and spine by a central DXA machine to diagnose […]
Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Millions of Americans have been led to believe that osteoporosis is simply a deficiency of the common drugs, Boniva, Evista, Actonel, or Fosamax. Many are prescribed the “knee-jerk” recommendation of 1500 mgs of calcium a day to prevent osteoporosis. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. It is […]
FEBRUARY 09, 2017 Metabolism Palermo A, et al. This study was focused on determining the effect of Vitamin K (plasma levels, dietary intake, and oral supplementation) on bone health with specific emphasis in bone remodeling, mineral density and fragility fractures. Despite multiple observational and interventional studies on the association of Vitamin K and bone metabolism, […]
