Sitka chiropractic patients team up with Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka for the relief of Sitka chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

Sitka 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 often adds to obesity, affects 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 help with these concerns when swapped for the Standard American Diet. (1) Sitka chiropractic patients with chronic pain often find some relief with wiser eating choices.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 papers suggests 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 such. Carbohydrates with low glycemic indices consumed 3 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 interspersed weekly. It’s not bad to have sweets on occasion! (2) Such a treat makes it easier 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 lessening inflammation and fostering 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 important in the treatment of chronic pain and Sitka back pain at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka.
