Does the Chiropractor Care About Your Diet?

By Genevieve Cunningham

When you think about improving your diet, the likelihood that you immediately think of the chiropractor is slim. Why would you? Most people don't associate chiropractic care with diet. The chiropractor doesn't care what you eat, right? If this is your line of thinking, you're probably in for a surprise! While chiropractors may not hand you a diet plan, they definitely care about what goes into your mouth. If you're looking to live the healthiest life possible, take a look at why the chiropractor cares about your diet, followed by some tips for getting your diet under control.

Weight and Pain Are Related

You know this. When we eat too much, we gain weight. And when we're heavier, we're far more likely to experience pain in the back and joints. We often try to explain it away as something else, but the harsh truth is that weight definitely affects pain. And because the chiropractor is so often dealing with pain, they care about your diet and general weight.

The Chiropractor Understands Holistic Health

It's not often that you see a severely overweight elderly person. Why? Because weight affects the body as a whole. It raises the risk of disease. It raises the likelihood of major issues with your health. And since chiropractors are interested in holistic health -- or health as a whole body unit -- they care about your diet, your weight, and the problems that it may cause.

Tips for Managing Your Diet

  • Understand portions - Portion sizes in America are out of control. Learn proper portion sizes and you'll be halfway to managing your weight. 

  • Speak with a nutritionist - A nutritionist can help create a diet plan that works for you. Keep in mind that a real diet is not temporary. It's a lifestyle change that affects your health for the long haul.

  • Get to know your body - If you don't understand your body, you won't be able to fuel it properly. Does your body like dairy? Does it like meat? Have you given it enough vegetables? The more you know, the better you can treat your body and diet.

So Why See a Chiropractor?

A chiropractor won't give you a diet plan, but they'll be able to minimize pain, improve basic health, and give you tips for living a healthier life. It's a great addition to any healthy lifestyle, so if this is your goal, see your local chiropractor now.
