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

San Jose DIET AND INFLAMMATION

Diet may influence obesity and chronic pain, not just in weight-bearing joints but other parts of the body, too. Poor diet many times contributes to obesity, influences the immune system unfavorably, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature in place of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well assist these issues when replaced for the Standard American Diet. (1) San Jose 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 certain foods are comparable 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 consumed 3 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) That makes it easier to manage a diet change! Eating this way helps manage inflammation/oxidative stress that results in pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A well-known diet referred to as 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 in a timely manner after the injury. (3) Protecting and regenerating damaged, inflamed nerves is significant in the care of chronic pain and San Jose back pain at Chiropractic Solutions. Chiropractic Solutions is excited to share that  anti-inflammatory diets help patients heal from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
