We explored how treating patients with osteoporosis with vitamin K2 and D3 could influence back pain and spine fusion rates following surgery. In this study, we included patients who underwent spinal surgery for lumbar degenerative disorders. Some received a combination of vitamin K2, D3, and calcium, while others were treated with only calcium and vitamin D3.
The results showed that those who took vitamin K2 along with their other treatments had improved fusion rates and experienced less back pain. Furthermore, clinical symptoms improved, and there was a marked promotion of bone health within six months after surgery. Notably, the administration of vitamin K2 also helped maintain bone mineral density.
Overall, this research suggests that incorporating vitamin K2 alongside traditional treatments could be beneficial for individuals dealing with back pain related to osteoporosis. It opens the door for more studies on how we might better treat and manage spinal conditions in these patients.
