Richmond 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, influences the immune system adversely, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. An anti-inflammatory diet in place of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well assist these issues when exchanged for the Standard American Diet. (1) Richmond chiropractic patients with chronic pain frequently find some relief with better eating selections.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 studies proposes 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 such. Carbohydrates with low glycemic indices consumed 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 occasionally! (2) Such a treat causes it to be 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 well-known diet called the ketogenic diet may be beneficial for reducing inflammation and promoting 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 care of chronic pain and Richmond back pain at Johnson Chiropractic.
