Chiropractic involves treating the person as a whole by assisting the body to heal naturally. It has long been known that healthy, nutritious diets coupled with rest, exercise, and spinal adjustments are an integral part of preventative health care.
In order to function to its optimum capacity, the body needs to absorb essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, and various vitamins. These ensure healthy digestion, metabolizing, and excretion which, in turn, leads to homeostasis — the body's ability to regulate its inner environment as it responds to changes in the external environment. Poor diets that include foods rich in sugars and fats can contribute to other health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
Nutritional therapy has evolved as a need for such specialist treatment grows from the persistent nutritional deficiencies common today. Dr. Kaden considers your medical history, past injuries, current symptoms, and postural analysis when designing a nutritional approach that complements your chiropractic care.
