Fort Worth Nutrition for Whole Body Wellness

If you have ever tried to lose weight (even just a few pounds), you already know how important good nutrition is to weight management. But did you know that proper nutrition is also essential to helping your body recover from injury? Just as chiropractic alignment can restore balance to the musculoskeletal system, proper nutrition can restore balance to your internal organs and promote healing. Here at Back to Health Family Chiropractic in Fort Worth, we believe that nutrition counseling is an essential component to whole body wellness.

Nutrition Counseling for Better Health

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s all too easy to gulp down sugary sodas and hit the drive-thru for a quick meal. While you already know that fast food and sodas contribute to health problems like obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, do you know what nutrients can make your body healthy? Even if you avoid trans fats, refined sugars and preservatives, you may not be giving your body the right combination of nutrients it needs to truly thrive.

Every individual is different, and depending on your injury, you may have different nutrition requirements. If you are recovering from an auto injury, for example, your wellness needs will be different than if you are managing chronic pain like sciatica and fibromyalgia. That’s why our nutrition counseling is tailored specifically to the needs of your body. Our chiropractor, Dr. Chris Michlin, will evaluate your nutrition needs by determining which organs in your body are not properly functioning. Based on his findings, Dr. Michlin will recommend a specific balance of nutrients, supplements and vitamins to boost wellness and improve injury recovery.

Proper Nutrition Speeds by Helping the Body
Heal from Within

In addition to strengthening the body from the outside through chiropractic care and corrective exercises, we cannot neglect our internal needs. During the recovery period from an auto injury or sports accident, our bodies have an increased need for proteins to rebuild muscles and soft tissues that were injured. Antioxidants can prevent internal damage caused by free radicals that are released during chronic inflammation. Vitamin C can also help repair soft tissue injuries to tendons and ligaments. If you suffer from chronic pain such as sciatica or fibromyalgia, it is especially important to avoid pro-inflammatory foods high in fats, which will only exacerbate your condition.

For example, whiplash is a common auto injury that results in neck pain, headache and migraine due to cervical spine misalignment and soft tissue damage. Just as Dr. Michlin will help restore alignment to your neck and back through Atlas Orthogonal and full spine chiropractic treatments, the right balance of proteins and nutrients will help repair internal soft tissue damage, which relieves neck pain, headaches and migraines.

Our patients choose our Fort Worth nutrition counseling because our program, in combination with chiropractic care, has successfully helped hundreds of patients heal following back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headache, migraine and fibromyalgia. Our nutrition counseling is not another fad-diet or “miracle” weight loss program that starves the body of vital nutrients.

Whether you are struggling to manage high blood pressure or back pain, care from our chiropractor and proper nutrition can help you safely manage your conditions without the need for prescription painkillers or blood pressure medications. Dr. Michlin and our entire wellness team are committed to natural, non-invasive care that restores wellness from within.
