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 paying attention to and changing to a more anti-inflammatory diet. Back pain may benefit as well from an anti-inflammatory diet, so Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers encourages an anti-inflammatory diet for pain relief and even neurological recovery when spinal nerves are in pain and are inflamed which results in Baton Rouge back pain and neck pain, etc. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers oversees the relief of back pain and neck pain with a comprehensive chiropractic treatment plan of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic, exercise and nutritional diet. Baton Rouge chiropractic patients team up with Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers for the relief of Baton Rouge chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

Baton Rouge 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 contributes to obesity, influences the immune system adversely, and delays recovery from inflammatory injury. An anti-inflammatory diet instead of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well help with these issues when exchanged for the Standard American Diet. (1) Baton Rouge chiropractic patients with chronic pain often find some relief with better 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 examples. Carbohydrates with low glycemic indices eaten 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 mixed in weekly. It is not bad to have sweets occasionally! (2) Such a treat makes it simpler to achieve a diet change! Eating like this helps manage inflammation/oxidative stress that brings about pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A popular diet called the ketogenic diet may have a good effect on lessening inflammation and promoting 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 important in the care of chronic pain and Baton Rouge back pain at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is excited to share that  anti-inflammatory diets foster patients’ healing from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
