How Nutritional Guidance Enhances Your Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a very effective method for addressing pain, injuries, and various health conditions. Though it provides some great benefits on its own, combining chiropractic techniques with nutritional guidance helps create a powerhouse of health and wellness. Learn more about how in this guide created by our team at Aloha Wellness in San Antonio.

Why Combine Nutrition with Chiropractic Techniques?

Your body is like a machine. Like all machines, it needs proper maintenance to run smoothly. Imagine taking your vehicle in for a maintenance appointment and only getting the tires replaced, although you should have gotten the oil changed, too.

How long will your vehicle keep moving and functioning properly? Chiropractic adjustments are essential for keeping the musculoskeletal system properly aligned and pain-free. However, the foods you take in play a role as well. They can either support or harm your body.

Neglecting Nutrition

Overeating can lead to obesity, which puts unnecessary pressure on the spine. That pressure can cause misalignment, herniated discs, nerve compression, and more. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve these issues, but if overeating isn’t addressed, those problems will simply return.

Another example is lacking specific vitamins. For instance, you need calcium to keep your bones strong. Weak bones can result in problems like osteoporosis, poor posture, fractures, and more. Again, chiropractic care can help address the symptoms, but you need to get enough calcium to prevent and treat them fully.

How Does a Chiropractor Provide Nutritional Guidance?

At Aloha Wellness, we use nutrition response testing to help us determine what you need. Nutrition response testing is a natural method that simply requires the analysis of your body’s reactions and reflexes to help detect deficiencies. From there, we provide personalized guidance on dietary changes so that you can achieve optimal wellness.
