Georgetown chiropractic patients work with Dr. Butwell for the relief of Georgetown chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.
Georgetown 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, influences the immune system adversely, and prolongs recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature instead of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well assist these concerns when exchanged for the Standard American Diet. (1) Georgetown chiropractic patients with chronic pain frequently discover some relief with wiser eating choices.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS
A review of 172 papers advises 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 examples. 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 occasionally! (2) Such a treat makes it easier to manage a diet change! Eating this way facilitates inflammation/oxidative stress that results in pain relief.
DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR
A fashionable diet referred to as the ketogenic diet may have a good effect on 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 significant in the care of chronic pain and Georgetown back pain at Dr. Butwell. Dr. Butwell is eager to share that anti-inflammatory diets help patients heal from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
