Many of your patients suffer from some form of inflammation creating pain, functional instability and a variety of symptoms. Simply put, inflammation is the body’s defense response and part of healing but often creates an auto-immune response fighting itself found often in arthritis, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, joint and systemic conditions. In other words, it is a pain. So, how does one handle and manage this.

There are so many people suffering from inflammation that a cottage industry has evolved to meet the demand from medical and alternative specialties, diet gurus and supplements that cater to every ache or concern you have. Chiropractic naturally reduces inflammation with each adjustment and sound clinical advice.

Unfortunately, our lifestyle, dietary habits and reluctance to move and manage weight plays a huge part in this crisis. Just joining a gym, dieting as well as taking the supplement de jour and/or swallow a handful of medication for relief without managing the cause is a start, but it must include changing your lifestyle

So best to be proactive. Take time to analyze your lifestyle and decide to make changes. Certain foods aggravate your condition while adding others may be anti- inflammatory. Decide to move by walking or jogging realizing that movement often slows down wear and tear if done methodically and correctly like stretching.
