Minster Chiropractic Center Encourages Healthy Diet to Avoid Pain and Inflammation

November 13, 2018

The S.A.D. is sad for many reasons. Inflammation. Obesity. Pain. S.A.D. being the Standard American Diet may be addressed by paying attention to and exchanging from a S.A.D. diet to a more anti-inflammatory diet. Back pain may benefit as well from an anti-inflammatory diet, so Minster Chiropractic Center urges an anti-inflammatory diet for pain relief and even neurological recovery when spinal nerves hurt and are inflamed which causes Minster back pain and neck pain, etc. Minster Chiropractic Center oversees the relief of back pain and neck pain with an inclusive chiropractic treatment plan of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic, exercise and nutritional diet. Minster chiropractic patients work with Minster Chiropractic Center for the relief of Minster chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

Minster DIET AND INFLAMMATION

Diet may play a role in obesity and chronic pain, not just in weight-bearing joints but other parts of the body as well. Poor diet often adds to obesity, impacts the immune system unfavorably, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature rather than a pharmacological intervention after injury may well assist these issues when exchanged for the Standard American Diet. (1) Minster chiropractic patients with chronic pain often discover some relief with healthier eating choices.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 studies proposes that effects of specific foods are akin to drug management therapy for chronic pain. Natural compounds like the phenolic compounds in extra virgin olive oil are examples. Carbohydrates with low glycemic indices eaten three times a day along with fruits and vegetables, yogurt, red wine are good on a daily basis. Fish and legumes, white meat, eggs and cheese and red meats can be mixed in weekly. It is not bad to have sweets on occasion! (2) Such a treat makes it easier to achieve a diet change! Eating like this facilitates inflammation/oxidative stress that brings about pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A well-known diet called the ketogenic diet may have a good effect on lessening inflammation and advancing neuroprotection, protection of the nerves and even neurological recovery of spinal cord injury if started early after the injury. (3) Protecting and regenerating damaged, inflamed nerves is important in the treatment of chronic pain and Minster back pain at Minster Chiropractic Center. Minster Chiropractic Center is eager to disclose that  anti-inflammatory diets foster patients’ healing from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
