Chronic Pain and Depression - The Nutrition Connection

Many chiropractic patients respond very well to manual care. This presentation is about non-responders with chronic pain and depression who need additional management strategies, particularly related to nutrition and lifestyle. Non-responders are typically inflamed and unhealthy and suffer from various chronic conditions such as depression, chronic fatigue, and the metabolic syndrome. Topics of discussion include the evidence for inflammation as the cause underlying chronic pains and depression, documenting inflammation/nutritional issues through physical exam and laboratory findings, how poor dietary choices transform the body into an “inflammatory state,” clinical management issues regarding diet and supplementation, and painful and degenerative changes in muscles, joints, tendons, and bones. Sponsored by Anabolic Labs.
