How You Can Benefit From Nutritional Counseling From Your Chiropractor
If you’ve ever visited a chiropractor, you likely received some recommendations for things you can do at home or in daily life, including nutritional advice. And if you’re like many people, you wonder why. Should a chiropractor be giving such advice? And what are the benefits of following it? Dr. Slossberg and the team at Ponte Vedra Beach Chiropractic in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, answer those questions and more about chiropractic nutritional counseling below.
Understanding Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors are typically thought of as those who treat back and neck pain, but this is too small of a box. Chiropractors actually train and specialize in helping patients achieve natural healing for a variety of injuries, symptoms, and conditions.
To achieve such healing, it takes more than an adjustment. It requires comprehensive care and addressing a wide range of factors.
Though you likely know that how you eat can impact your weight and your heart, you might not be aware of just how much it impacts the neuromusculoskeletal system. Eating well is essential for bone health, joint health, muscle health, nerve function, and more.
Additionally, various foods have different healing properties. Some are natural anti-inflammatories, while others cause fluid retention and swelling. By knowing what to eat, you can reduce the pain and other symptoms you experience.
Combining Nutrition With Chiropractic Techniques
Chiropractors can be trained to understand the power that nutrients, vitamins, and minerals have on both daily life and healing from pain. They provide various techniques in the office, such as spinal adjustments, manipulation, and massage therapy. These play an important role in your relief. However, what you do outside of the office can have a significant impact and can even prolong your recovery. Therefore, your chiropractor will guide you through various personalized steps that will help you heal more quickly, including nutritional changes, therapeutic exercises, and adjustments to your habits.
