Chiropractic and Nutrition For Neck and Back Pain
A good chiropractic program should include a nutrition component. Treatment for neck pain, back pain and headaches goes beyond spinal adjustments and therapy. Poor diet choices have the ability to cause inflammatory processes in the body resulting in a magnification of the typical aches and pains that we develop while sitting at our desks all day. In my San Diego Chiropractic Clinic, I see patients on a regular basis who would do much better with their treatment if they would address their physical complaints with the appropriate dietary changes as well.
One of the most recent trends in natural health care is detoxification diets. There are many detoxification programs on the market. I have been familiar with Standard Process over the course of my chiropractic career. Standard Process has been in business for over 80 years and they have always been held in high regard for their top quality, natural whole food supplements. My assistant, Linda, took the initiative to call Standard Process and have a representative come discuss their purification process with us.
The purification program that they offer is an extreme departure from my normal diet. While I eat fruits and vegetables on a regular basis, this diet restricts you to fruits and vegetables for the first 10 days supported by nutritional supplements and protein shakes that cleanse the body of toxins. This cleansing process is initiated by supplements that help stimulate the liver, kidneys and intestines.
At this point we are ten days into our purification program. Aside from a day spent with a mild caffeine withdrawal headache and a few cravings that I battled for the first few days this has been less than a painful process. I actually don’t miss the morning coffee, Mexican food and pizza. If you were standing in front of me right now and asked me how I am feeling I would say that “I feel better than I have in twenty years”. And I wouldn’t be exaggerating.
As a result of the first 10 days of this purification, my blood pressure is lower than it was when I was 20, my neck pain and back pain have noticeably improved, my digestion is much improved, my sleep is better than it has ever been in my adult life and I have lost 12 pounds of fat and bloat. This program definitely has supplied the building blocks on which I will become healthier and leaner.
