La Grande chiropractic patients work with Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC for the relief of La Grande chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.

La Grande 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 many times adds to obesity, impacts the immune system unfavorably, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature in place of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well help with these issues when swapped for the Standard American Diet. (1) La Grande chiropractic patients with chronic pain frequently find some relief with better eating selections.

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 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 on occasion! (2) Such a treat causes it to be easier to manage a diet change! Eating like this helps manage inflammation/oxidative stress that results in pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A well-known diet referred to as the ketogenic diet may have a good effect on reducing inflammation and promoting neuroprotection, protection of the nerves and even neurological recovery of spinal cord injury if initiated in a timely manner after the injury. (3) Protecting and regenerating damaged, inflamed nerves is significant in the care of chronic pain and La Grande back pain at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is eager to share that  anti-inflammatory diets foster patients’ healing from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
