Baton Rouge chiropractic patients probably think of Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers for back pain and neck pain and related spinal pain issues. That’s logical and well-documented that the chiropractor is often the go-to provider for such pain relief. We work well with our medical colleagues for your benefit. As a matter of fact, integrative care for subacute lower back pain is shown to be positive for reducing pain and bothersomeness as well as improving functional status. (1) We can work with you, our Baton Rouge cancer patient, and your cancer-care physician, too.
How? Maybe just with some nutritional and diet advice. We keep up with the latest in lifestyle and nutrition information. For example, a recent study out of Norway found that women’s risk of colorectal cancer was reduced by 35% following a health food index of fish, cabbage, rye bread, oatmeal, root vegetables, pears and apples. (2) Selenium may reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer. (3) A lack of Vitamin D increases the risk of fractures as well as many diseases like cancer, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular, hypertension, infectious and autoimmune diseases. (4) So eat well (maybe consider supplements) to get your vitamins and minerals!
