Old Mill Chiropractic Encourages Healthy Diet to Avoid Pain and Inflammation

The S.A.D. is sad on so many levels. Inflammation. Obesity. Pain. S.A.D. being the Standard American Diet may be remedied by paying attention to and exchanging from a S.A.D. diet to a more anti-inflammatory diet. Back pain may improve as a result of an anti-inflammatory diet, so Old Mill Chiropractic urges an anti-inflammatory diet for pain relief and even neurological recovery when spinal nerves are in pain and are inflamed which results in St Peters back pain and neck pain, etc. Old Mill Chiropractic oversees the relief of back pain and neck pain with a complete chiropractic treatment plan of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic, exercise and nutritional diet. St Peters chiropractic patients work with Old Mill Chiropractic for the relief of St Peters chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

St Peters DIET AND INFLAMMATION

Diet may influence obesity and chronic pain, not just in weight-bearing joints but other parts of the body as well. Poor diet often adds to obesity, affects the immune system unfavorably, and delays recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature in place of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well assist these concerns when substituted for the Standard American Diet. (1) St Peters chiropractic patients with chronic pain often find some relief with better eating choices.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 studies suggests that effects of certain foods are comparable to drug management therapy for chronic pain. Natural compounds like the phenolic compounds in extra virgin olive oil are such. Carbohydrates with low glycemic indices eaten three times a day alongside fruits and vegetables, yogurt, red wine are good daily. 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 causes it to be simpler to manage a diet change! Eating like this facilitates inflammation/oxidative stress that results in pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A fashionable diet called the ketogenic diet may be beneficial for reducing inflammation and promoting neuroprotection, protection of the nerves and even neurological recovery of spinal cord injury if initiated in a timely manner after the injury. (3) Protecting and regenerating damaged, inflamed nerves is significant in the care of chronic pain and St Peters back pain at Old Mill Chiropractic. Old Mill Chiropractic is eager to share that  anti-inflammatory diets foster patients’ healing from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
