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 fixed by concentrating on 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 Executive Chiropractic of Iowa encourages an anti-inflammatory diet for pain relief and even neurological recovery when spinal nerves ache and are inflamed which results in West Des Moines back pain and neck pain, etc. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa manages and relieves back pain and neck pain with an inclusive chiropractic treatment plan of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic, exercise and nutritional diet. West Des Moines chiropractic patients team up with Executive Chiropractic of Iowa for the relief of West Des Moines chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

West Des Moines 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 many times adds to obesity, affects the immune system unfavorably, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. An anti-inflammatory diet in place of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well assist these concerns when substituted for the Standard American Diet. (1) West Des Moines chiropractic patients with chronic pain often find some relief with wiser eating choices.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 papers proposes that consequences of specific foods are akin 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 3 times a day alongside 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’s not bad to have sweets on occasion! (2) Such a treat causes it to be easier to manage a diet change! Eating this way facilitates inflammation/oxidative stress that results in pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A fashionable diet called the ketogenic diet may have a good effect on decreasing inflammation and promoting neuroprotection, protection of the nerves and even neurological recovery of spinal cord injury if initiated early after the injury. (3) Protecting and regenerating damaged, inflamed nerves is significant in the care of chronic pain and West Des Moines back pain at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is excited to disclose that  anti-inflammatory diets foster patients’ healing from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
