When to go to a Chiropractor?
“When to Go to a Chiropractor?” – is a question that many people ask after suffering a musculoskeletal injury.
While there are many reasons people seek chiropractic care, there are several important reasons you may need to go following a work-related injury.
1. Back Pain
Because chiropractors focus so much on the spine, when you’re experiencing pain in your back, it’s a good time to pay one a visit. If the back pain is caused by your back being subluxated, then a chiropractor is the best solution.
In many cases, a chiropractor can help you avoid surgery or using pain medication by treating the cause of the problem rather than the symptoms alone.
2. Other Body Pain
Pain can have many causes, but it’s always transmitted through your nerves. When these nerves become pinched, they can send wrong messages or prevent your body from getting the relief you need following an injury.
If you have pain in any part of your body, especially if it’s muscular or skeletal, visiting a chiropractor is likely the best way to resolve it since chiropractors can address pinched nerves.
3. Headaches
Often, headaches can be a sign of pinched nerves in the neck. If this is the case, you can often get relief from a headache after just one adjustment.
4. Sickness
Whether or not you believe your illness is related to an injury, it’s still a good time to see a chiropractor. When your spine is properly aligned, it helps the rest of the bodywork the way it was intended which can shorten illnesses.
5. Any Injury
Any time you experience an injury, there’s a good chance that your spine has become mal-aligned. Even if you’re not dealing with any pain or other symptoms, visiting a chiropractor can help.
Chiropractors help prevent problems before they occur and can help you stay healthier overall by setting your body up for success against fighting illnesses.
These other benefits are why many people regularly visit their chiropractors whether or not they have pain.
As you can see, there are many specific times to seek chiropractic care, although you can also go as a way to stay healthy .

for a work-related injury or any other reason, we’ve made it easy for you.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. For years, dietary cholesterol was implicated in increasing blood cholesterol levels leading to the elevated risk of CVD. To date, extensive research did not show evidence to support a role of dietary cholesterol in the development of CVD. As a result, the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans removed the recommendations of restricting dietary cholesterol to 300 mg/day.

At the very least, you'll want to keep this to a minimum. Inflammation is often visible—think red skin or a swollen knee. However, inflammation can also occur on the inside, and it's not always so easy to detect. "Inflammation is a physiological process involved in the defense of our body and the repair of tissues," says Jenna Stangland, RD , a Momentous advisor. Stangland explains that inflammation can be triggered by infections, trauma, toxins or allergic reactions. Sometimes, it becomes chronic in the muscles and tissues. Unfortunately, Stangland says chronic inflammation carries risks. "Chronic inflammation can end up stimulating the development of cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune disease, neurological disease or cancer," Stangland says. "This type of inflammation can last several months as a result of inability to combat and reduce it." Diet isn't a cure-all for chronic inflammation or the diseases it can trigger. However, it's an important tool. "Diet plays a significant role in inflammation, as certain foods can either promote or reduce inflammation in the body," says Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, CDN , a preventive cardiology dietitian at EntirelyNourished.com . One food in particular is worth avoiding. RDs shared the food to limit if you have chronic inflammation.
