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.

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 care your chiropractor may supervise a non fad diet with specific vitamin 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.
