Santa Rosa Chiropractic Office Recommends Anti-inflammatory Diet

Joint pain always involves some degree of inflammation at our Santa Rosa chiropractic office, especially if its chronic pain.  Whether its from arthritis, tendonitis, torn cartilage, or torn ligaments the body produces inflammation as part of the healing process.  White blood cells, swelling and edema are all activated to repair and protect damaged joints and the tissue around them.  With chronic pain the inflammatory process can actually become more of an interference in the healing process and must be managed to create an opportunity for healing.  But in our Santa Rosa Chiropractic office, instead of taking ant-inflammatory drugs that have side effects related to your stomach, liver and kidneys we recommend eliminating pro inflammatory food from your diet, and adding other good anti inflammatory foods into your diet.  Inflammatory foods include spicy food, garlic, onions, nightshades as well as sugar or anything that you may have an allergic reaction to.  Food that fight inflammation include turmeric, antioxidants, and meals high in fruits and vegetables.  Consult with our Santa Rosa Chiropractic office for more information about diet and inflammation.
