Vancouver Disc Centers Encourages Healthy Diet to Avoid Pain and Inflammation

November 13, 2018

The S.A.D. is sad on so many levels. 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 Vancouver Disc Centers urges an anti-inflammatory diet for pain relief and even neurological recovery when spinal nerves hurt and are inflamed which causes Vancouver back pain and neck pain, etc. Vancouver Disc Centers oversees the relief of back pain and neck pain with an inclusive chiropractic treatment plan of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic, exercise and nutritional diet. Vancouver chiropractic patients team up with Vancouver Disc Centers for the relief of Vancouver chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

Vancouver 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 often contributes to obesity, impacts 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 replaced for the Standard American Diet. (1) Vancouver chiropractic patients with chronic pain frequently discover some relief with healthier eating selections.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 papers suggests that consequences of specific 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 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 interspersed weekly. It is not bad to have sweets on occasion! (2) That makes it simpler to achieve a diet change! Eating this way helps manage inflammation/oxidative stress that brings about pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A well-known diet called the ketogenic diet may have a good effect on reducing inflammation and fostering 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 Vancouver back pain at Vancouver Disc Centers. Vancouver Disc Centers is excited to share that  anti-inflammatory diets foster patients’ healing from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
