Nutrition

Nutrition is having its "salad days" today, with trendy but true emphasis on the right foods and supplements. There is a turning away from empty calories and over-consumption. It can be confusing as you will find different opinions to even the basic questions. Look at the number of diet books and weight loss products. It can be a quagmire however there is clarity with persistence.

Cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetics and cirrhosis of the liver and some cancers have been associated with foods high in salt, fat, sugar and cholesterol. Being overweight, for example, may cause an imbalance in your spinal structure and delay your ability to respond to Chiropractic care.

In this case your Chiropractor may supervise a non fad diet with specific vitamin and or mineral supplements. Others, with drug or alcohol addictions, poor dietary habits, or special conditions such as pregnancy may rely on a Chiropractor's solid grounding in nutrition and spine related therapies. Nutritional monitoring and supplement evaluation is a service at the Oakville Chiropractic Centre. We also have professionals that specialize in Nutrition available for consultation.
