Nutritional Counseling in Chiropractic Care
Though chiropractic care has been around for quite some time, many people are still surprised by the wide range of services that chiropractors offer. This is especially true when their chiropractor offers nutritional advice. Below, Dr. Vance and the team at Chiropractic Health and Wellness in Milwaukee, WI, answer some common questions about nutritional counseling in chiropractic care.
Can a Chiropractor Offer Nutritional Guidance?
You might know chiropractors as “the bone doctors,” but their education and training go far beyond that. Chiropractic programs include in-depth nutritional education, and many chiropractors gain extended training in this area.
Why Do I Need Nutritional Guidance?
Most people think of nutrition when they are trying to lose weight or manage a health condition, like diabetes. Both of these are very good reasons to make nutrition a priority, but they’re not the only ones.
Your body requires various vitamins, nutrients, and minerals to do its jobs properly. This includes everything from keeping your heart pumping strong to natural repair processes in the muscles and soft tissues. Even if neither weight nor a health condition are concerns, eating properly can help you sleep better, recover from injuries, have more energy, fight inflammation, naturally relieve pain, and much more.
Chiropractors provide nutritional guidance based on your specific needs and areas that need to be addressed. If, for example, you are living with joint pain, your chiropractor can recommend foods to keep inflammation at bay and improve joint health.
Why Are Chiropractors So Interested In Adding Nutrition to Treatment Plans?
Chiropractors work on a holistic basis, meaning that they treat the whole person. Treatment plans are not just about popping your back and sending you on your way. They are about determining your individual needs on various levels and combining the best techniques for these needs. As they are well aware of just how much proper nutrition – or the lack thereof – can impact a person’s health and wellness, they want to ensure that any nutritional needs are addressed.
