The Role of Nutrition in Spinal Health and Recovery

🍎🍓🫐🥑🥦🥬🍌🍠🧄🥕🌽🍉🍇

Did you know that what you eat directly impacts your spine’s ability to heal and maintain itself? Your spinal discs, like all tissues, require specific nutrients to function optimally and repair damage from daily wear and stress.

Anti-inflammatory foods form the foundation of spine-healthy nutrition. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds help reduce inflammation around spinal joints. Colourful vegetables and fruits provide antioxidants that combat oxidative stress contributing to disc degeneration.

Hydration plays a crucial role. Spinal discs are approximately 80% water and rely on adequate fluid intake to maintain their shock-absorbing properties. Even mild dehydration can affect disc height and flexibility.

Key nutrients for spinal health include vitamin D and calcium for bone strength, magnesium for muscle relaxation, and vitamin C for collagen synthesis in ligaments and tendons. Protein provides amino acids necessary for tissue repair after chiropractic adjustments.

Inflammatory foods like processed sugars, trans fats, and excessive refined carbohydrates can perpetuate spinal inflammation and slow healing.
