Osteoarthritis

Synovial joints present with cartilage loss and significant

inflammation to articular and peri-articular structures.

o Morning stiffness (better for movement)

o Grinding of joints (crepitus)

o Loss of mobility, range of movement

o Pain after prolonged activity

o Pain relieved by rest

o Muscle contractures and spasms

o In advanced OA, redness, heat,

swelling, enlargement of joint,

bone spur formation. (Rona, 2000)

OsteoarthritisTreatment Aims

o Support pain management and anti-inflammatory action

o Maintaining adequate microcirculation to the joints

o Minimize load bearing exacerbation (obesity) while still

encouraging / sustaining activity of the joints while

supporting appropriate muscular articulation and

preventing further joint injuries

o Nutritional support for proteoglycan synthesis and

cartilage reconstruction

o Remineralisation of the calcified cartilage / bone junction

o Adjust the diet to have a less acidic load

(Sarris & Wardle, 2010; Mills & Bone, 2005, p.249)

Gout

Page 18: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 18

Gout

o Gout is an inflammatory arthritis associated with

hyperuricaemia (raised urate levels in the blood).

o Increased action of xanthine oxidase. This increases the

clearance of purines, however, a failure of the kidneys to

effectively clear the generated metabolite results in the

compound continuing to circulate throughout the body.

o This leads to deposition in joints

(Kumar & Clark 2009; Tortora & Derrickson, 2009)

Gout

Therapeutic Actions

Vitamin C

Huang et al. (2005) found that the incidences of

hyperuricaemia were higher in males and those that

suffered chronic illness.

The study found that ;

“Supplementation with 500mg/d of vitamin C for 2 months

reduces serum uric acid, suggesting that vitamin C might

be beneficial in the prevention and management of gout

and other urate-related diseases”. (pp. 1845)

Page 22: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

Gout

Therapeutic Actions

Anthocyanidins & Pro-anthocyanidins

o Consuming 200gms of fresh or canned cherries per day has been shown to be very effective in lowering uric acid levels.

o Cherries, hawthorn berries, blueberries and other dark red-blue berries are rich sources of anthocyanidins and pro-anthocyanidins which supports collagen structures.

(Haslett et al. 2002; Jacob, 2003)

Gout

Nutritional Considerations

Alcohol

o Alcohol increases uric acid production by accelerating

purine nucleotide degradation and reduces uric acid

excretion by increasing lactate production which impairs

kidney function

(Lyu et al. 2003; Pizzorno & Murray 2006)

o It has been found that groups with gout have double the

alcohol intake of healthy controls

(Sharpe, 1984 too old!)

Gout

Nutritional Considerations

Refined sugars

o Hyon et al. (2008) found in a longitudinal study of males

with no history of gout that consumption of sugar

sweetened soft drink and fructose rich fruit drinks

increased the incidence of gout.

o The increased presentation was four times that of the

normal distribution of disease incidence.

Page 25: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

Gout

Nutritional Considerations

Folate, Vitamin C, Fibre and Obesity

o Lyu et al (2003) found that “food sources rich in dietary

fibre, folate, and vitamin C, such as fruit and vegetables,

protect against gout. Waist-to-height ratio, which

indicates central obesity, has a significant linear effect on

gout occurrence, independent of body mass index.” (pp.

699)

Page 26: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 26

Gout

Nutritional Treatment

o Eat low purine foods (purine rich foods include yeast,

shellfish, organ meats & offal) while eliminating refined

sugar in drinks, food & alcohol

o Consumption of fibre, folate, vitamin C rich foods &

coffee was associated with a lower risk & lowered rate of

flare-ups.

o High essential fatty acid intakes & drinking a minimum of

2 litres /day of filtered water is beneficial

o Reduce an unhealthy waist-to-height independent of

body mass index

(Lyu et al. 2003; Pizzorno & Murray, 2006; Jasvinder et al.

2010)

Gout

Drug Action Side Effects Interactions

Xanthine

Oxidase

Inhibitor:

Allopurinol

Reduces the

synthesis of uric

acid (inhibits

xanthine oxidase).

This increases

xanthine’s use in

nucleic acid

synthesis which in

turn inhibits purine

synthesis. Useful for

urate deposits in the

joints (Gout) & urate

kidney stone

formation

Skin irritation

(itch, rash,

dermatitis,

alopecia),

abdominal

irritation

(diarrhoea,

vomiting),

Liver toxicity,

kidney

damage

Iron: Concurrent usage can lead

to excessive storage of iron in

the liver

Tryptophan: Allopurinol

decreases tryptophan

breakdown. Concurrent usage

can aid depression and help pain

management.

Vitamin D: Allopurinol has been

found to elevate serum vitamin D

levels. Monitor for vitamin D

toxicity signs with concurrent

administration

(Stargrove et al. 2008; Bryant & Knights, 2011)

Osteoporosis

Page 32: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 32

Osteoporosis

o A generalised, progressive loss of bone density, causing

skeletal weakness, although the ratio of mineral to

organic elements is unchanged.

o Bones become porous, brittle and less dense as a result

of a loss of bone mass due to osteoclast dominance

(Kumar & Clark 2009; Tortora & Derrickson 2009; Vardaxis, 2010)

Page 33: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 33

Osteoporosis

o Bone mass peaks in the middle of the 20’s and plateaus

for about 10 years.

o Turnover of bone is constant, with bone formation

approximately equalling bone resorption.

o Menopause and andropause causes accelerated bone

loss (may be increased tenfold at the rate of 3 to

5%/year)

o The movement of calcium and phosphorous in and out of

bone is under the control of Parathyroid hormone (PTH),

1,25 Vitamin D3 (calcitriol), Calcitonin

o Gonadal hormones also play a major regulatory role.

(Haslett et al. 2002; Vardaxis, 2010)

Page 34: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

Osteoporosis

Bone Loss Associated factors:

o Cushing's syndrome

o Hyper parathyroid

o Anorexia nervosa

o High intake of alcohol

o Smoking

o Drug usage (corticosteroids, progesterone,

anticonvulsants, thyroid hormones, methotrexate,

cyclosporin, non-thiazide diuretics, aluminum antacids,

anti-coagulants and high dose vitamin A and vitamin D)

(Vardaxis, 2010)

Osteoporosis

Symptoms:

o Usually asymptomatic until severe backache

o Common in postmenopausal women

o Fractures to hips and vertebra

o Decrease in height

o Demineralization of the spine and pelvis

(Haslett et al. 2002; Pizzorno & Murray 2006)

Osteoporosis

Therapeutic Actions

Insoluble Fibre

o Robefroid (2000) found that “…a high concentration of

short-chain carboxylic acids resulting from the colonic

fermentation of the non digestible carbohydrates

facilitates the colonic absorption of minerals, particularly

Ca2+ and Mg2+.”

o Insoluble fibre fractions such as inulin can increase in

water retention in the bowel allowing minerals to dissolve

and increase in concentration. This encourages passive

diffusion and subsequent increased absorption.

Page 37: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 37

Osteoporosis

Therapeutic Actions

Vitamin D, Calcium and Garlic oil

o Rasheed et al. (2009) found that animal trials

supplemented with “…vitamin D , calcium and oil extract

of garlic could effectively restore the reduced calcium

level, correct the high rate of bone turnover, elevate the

reduced serum estradiol level and improve both BMC

and BMD after ovariectomy. This effect was better in the

group co-administered with the three components”.

Page 38: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 38

Osteoporosis

Therapeutic Actions

Calcium and BMI

o Varenna et al. (2007) found that “…the negative effect of

a low dietary calcium intake on BMD values in the first

years after menopause can be attenuated by a greater

BMI found in women with a low calcium intake.”

Page 39: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

Osteoporosis

Therapeutic Actions

Soy Isoflavones

o Scheiber et al (2001) conducted a study to determine the

effects of dietary inclusion of soy foods on clinical

markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and

osteoporosis in normal postmenopausal women.

o The conclusion was that “dietary soy foods containing

60mg/day of isoflavones results in significant increases

in serum levels of phytoestrogens and a subsequent

reduction in clinical risk factors for CVD and

osteoporosis.”

Page 40: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 40

OsteoporosisSoy

o Beneficial effects of soy on bone density have been reported in

epidemiological studies.

o One study gave 200 women 66mg of isofalnones or a soy protein

supplement/day (equivalent to an Asian diet intake) for six months.

o The researchers investigated changes in the women's bone activity by

measuring certain proteins (βCTX and P1NP) in their blood (responsible

for bone breakdown) & found that the women on the soy diet with

isoflavones had significantly lower levels of βCTX than the women on

soy alone, suggesting that their rate of bone loss & risk of developing

osteoporosis was reduced.

o Women taking soy protein with isoflavones were also found to have

decreased risk of cardiovascular disease than those taking soy alone.

o Conclusion - soy protein and isoflavones are an effective option for

improving bone health in women during early menopause. The actions of

soy appear to mimic that of conventional osteoporosis drugs

(Society for endocrinology 2015)

Osteoporosis

Nutritional Treatment

o Eliminate soft drinks (high in phosphates)

o Increase dietary and supplementary calcium intake

o Consumption of leafy green vegetables (vitamin K ,

boron and calcium)

o Increase intake of foods high in Vitamin D and ensure

exposure to sunlight

o Reduce fat intake, eliminate refined sugar, avoid

smoking & drink alcohol in moderation

o Participate in weight bearing exercise daily & maintain

ideal body weight

(Kohlmeier, 2003; Pizzorno & Murray 2006; Schlenker & Long 2007; Straub 2007; Rasheed

et al. 2009)

Osteoporosis

Preventative Strategies include:

o Maximizing peak bone mass (peak bone mass achieved

at age 30 years)

o Avoidance or modification of lifestyle and environmental

factors that cause bone loss

o Use of treatments such as oestrogens to prevent

postmenopausal bone loss

o Maintenance of postural stability and prevention of falls

(Haslett et al. 2002; Kumar & Clark 2009)

Page 43: Musculoskeletal system disease: part 1 · Nutritional treatment of specific musculoskeletal conditions ... Musculoskeletal System Disease Functions of the Skeletal System o Support

Osteoporosis

Treatment Aims

o In patients with established osteoporosis, the aim of all

treatment strategies (nutritional, dietary and

pharmaceutical) is very similar. These include;

o Alleviate the patient's symptoms (e.g. pain) if applicable

o Reduce the risk of fracture

o Improve bone mass

o Treat, any underlying or contributing causes such as

thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, achlorhydria, drug

therapies e.g. corticosteroids

(Haslett et al. 2002; Kumar & Clark 2009)

vitamin D. Concurrent

usage with

Bisphosphonates is

warranted.

Osteoporosis

Drug Action Side Effects Interactions

Calcitonin Thyroid hormone that

inhibits osteoclast bone

resorption by blocking

the PTH action on

these cells. Most

effective in early

menopause.

Gastrointestinal upset

(nausea, vomiting)

Dizziness

Inflammation and pain

at injection site

Calcium & Vitamin D

Adequate levels of

calcium and vitamin D

are required to sustain

the bone-sparing effect

of calcitonin

(Bullock et al. 2007; Stargrove et al. 2008; Mahan & Escott-Stump 2008)

Osteoporosis

Drug Action Side Effects Interactions

Hormone

Replacement

Therapy

Synthetic

oestrogen (&

progesterone)

reduces bone

turnover & loss,

increases calcium

absorption,

retention &

increases

calcitriol

concentrations.

Increased

risk of

coronary

heart

disease,

breast

cancer,

stroke and

pulmonary

embolism

Chromium: Inhibits IL-6

(increases bone resorption)

Calcium & Vitamin D:

Increases bone mineralization

Boron: elevates oestradiol levels,

l(limits calcium losses & supports

bone mineralization).

Vitamin E: minimizes HRT

induced thrombosis

Zinc & Vitamin B6: depleted by

HRT

Magnesium: HRT increases bone

delivery

Osteoporosis

Drug Action Side Effects Interactions

Selective

Oestrogen

Receptor

Modulators:

Raloxifene

Tamoxifen

Stimulate oestrogen

receptors in bone tissue

& not glandular tissue.

Decrease bone

resorption & increase

bone mineral density.

Common: hot flushes (usually subsides after 6 months) & leg cramps.Retinal vascular occlusion

Calcium & Vitamin D:

Beneficial effect on

bone mineralization.

Concurrent usage

warranted.

Androgen

Replacement

Therapy

Testosterone

replacement maintains

bone mass & prevent

fractures.

Prostate growth Boron: Can elevate

testosterone levels,

limiting calcium losses

and supporting bone

mineralization
