How Chiropractic Care Helps with Pain Management
Chiropractic adjustments do a number of things to help relieve pain. The treatment depends on the extent of pain you’re experiencing. For many patients, their pain stems from a pinched or compressed nerve. Compressed nerves can also be the source of numbness in the extremities or elsewhere in the body. Many of these pain types are causes by inflamed or displaced spinal discs. A back adjustment can often relieve pressure on the disk, which then relieves pressure on the nerve.
Chiropractic adjustments can also relax tightened soft tissue that might be causing pain. Loosening this soft tissue can also help improve your range of motion. Finally, chiropractic care is a natural, whole-body approach that helps your body heal itself. This has many long-term advantages, but most patients count pain relief as number one.

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. This review summarizes the current literature regarding dietary cholesterol intake ...

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.
