Back Pain is hurting us – in the wallet. According to new government numbers, we spent nearly twice as much on the problem in 2007 as we did in 1997; more than $30 billion, up from an inflation – adjusted at $16billion a decade earlier. In addition to regular chiropractic care maintenance throughout the year you may be able to lower your risk of recurrence by strolling down the right aisle at the supermarket. According to some research it’s evident that certain foods can help with inflammation.

EAT MORE

• Cherries. One study showed that drinking 12 ounces of tart cherry juice twice a day for eight days reduced muscle pain and strain. Fresh or canned tart cherries are also helpful.
• Olive Oil
• Canned salmon, sardines packed in water or olive oil, mackerel, albacore tuna, flax –seed, and walnuts. All of which are a good source of OMEGA FATTY ACID (fish oil).
• Nuts of all kinds
• Green Tea
• Ginger. Try steeping a bit of the grated root in boiling water for tea.

EAT LESS

• Certain vegetable oils such as corn, safflower, sunflower or “mixed” vegetable oils
• Margarine and vegetable shortening
• Processed Foods
• Products containing high-fruit corn syrup
• Food high in saturated fat, including meat, tropical oils and full-fat dairy products
• Food made with trans fat

Drs. Winchester & Haggerty can help you combine the right supplements with the proper diet, to help lower inflammation in the body.
