Pflugerville chiropractic patients team up with Pflugerville Wellness Center for the relief of Pflugerville chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

Pflugerville 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, too. Poor diet many times contributes to obesity, influences the immune system adversely, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature instead of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well help with these issues when replaced for the Standard American Diet. (1) Pflugerville chiropractic patients with chronic pain frequently find some relief with wiser eating selections.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 papers suggests that effects of certain 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 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) Such a treat makes it easier to manage a diet change! Eating this way helps manage inflammation/oxidative stress that brings about pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A popular diet referred to as the ketogenic diet may be beneficial for reducing 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 significant in the care of chronic pain and Pflugerville back pain at Pflugerville Wellness Center. Pflugerville Wellness Center is excited to share that  anti-inflammatory diets foster patients’ healing from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
