Nutrition for Pain Relief & Anti-Inflammatory

The importance of nutrition services for pain relief and overall health

Nutrition can be an important but often-overlooked part of chronic pain relief treatment. By working with an experienced provider of nutrition services, patients dealing with any number of injuries and conditions can start to improve long-term health and potentially see short-term improvements in their symptoms. This is because the foods we eat can have a significant effect on both the body’s inflammatory response and its ability to heal.

To learn more about the benefits of nutrition services as part of a conservative treatment program, take a few minutes to read over this brief guide. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the treatments we provide here at USA Spine Care, please get in touch with us at any time.

Benefits of nutrition services for improved health 

Good nutrition is a cornerstone of healthy living. There are a numerous long-term benefits to nutritious eating, including:

• Improved weight management
• Improved immune system
• Stronger muscles and connective tissue
• Better circulation and lower cholesterol
• Decreased inflammation

Unfortunately, there are also many misunderstandings about nutrition and fad diets that can make developing and sticking with a healthy diet difficult. By working with a health care professional with a background in nutrition services, patients can learn about evidence-based dietary guidelines and practices to create a plan that is right for their needs and lifestyle.

What to expect from nutrition services

One great example of nutrition services advice is that people with chronic pain related to a neurological or degenerative condition should avoid eating inflammatory foods. This includes processed sugar and wheat as well as saturated fats. These types of food can increase the body’s inflammatory response, which can worsen our perception of pain. As an alternative, a nutritionist or conservative care practitioner may recommend unsaturated fats, such as avocados, and antioxidant rich foods such as fruits and vegetables.

Nutrition services experts can also help patients manage weight by teaching portion control and avoiding high calorie low nutrient foods and drinks. This can be especially beneficial for patients with a spine, hip or knee issue who are looking to reduce pressure on the affected area.

While a nutrition services professional can help a patient learn about better eating habits and creating a diet plan, it is ultimately up to an individual to practice healthy eating in their daily life. By committing to a healthy lifestyle and conservative treatments, many people are able to find lasting relief and improved mobility.

Nutrition services — cost considerations

The cost of nutrition services may depend on other therapies in a conservative treatment plan as well as insurance coverage. Nutrition services can be covered under medicare if deemed medically necessary. USA Spine Care facilities accept patients with Medicare, most private health insurances, as well as workers’ compensation and personal injury cases.
