Nutrition

Pain Changes Everything. We Can Help.

Doctors of chiropractic have long recognized that optimal health comes from a variety of sources – optimal exercise and body work, good mental and spiritual health, and of course optimal nutrition. Dr. Jones has training in nutrition and carries many excellent nutritional supplements.

Modern scientific research tells us that much of the ailments we suffer from in the Western world are diet related or influenced. Current thinking is that inflammation plays a role in arthritis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia and other mental health issues, digestive disorders, chronic pain and other issues we face.

Some specific examples of conditions directly influenced by nutrition or diet:

Migraines can be triggered by tyramine foods (cheese, red wine, chocolate) or MSG
Certain arthritis’s are aggravated by night shade foods (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, Goji)
Some medications can cause magnesium and B12 deficiencies or affect an enzyme called CoQ10. Ask Dr. Jones DC if you have further questions.

At Midnapore Health Centre, we will discuss how your health and concerns may be influenced by your nutrition. We work with other health professionals and also carry several lines of high quality supplements from trusted suppliers (Adeeva, Metagenics). As many of you are aware there are many sub-standard natural products on the market. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is true in this instance. The supplements we carry are ones Dr. Jones uses personally and for his family. We are also always aware that certain natural products may interfere with some medications and this is essential for us to discuss with you.

Our high quality nutritional supplements are available only to health professionals. This means they are formulated with therapeutic (higher) doses, quality bio available nutrients, and they are hyopallergetic with no fillers.

There are basic, baseline health supplements like a quality multivitamin, Omega 3 - essential fatty acids, and 1000mg vitamin D, which Dr. Jones recommends as a good starting point for everyone.

Then for focused benefits, vitamin manufacturers have blended the best nutrients together for certain conditions, so you have less searching and less pills to take. These special formulations include supplements to naturally support;

- inflammation

- cardiovascular health

- joint health (glucosamine)

- Stress and the nervous system (Vitamin B, magnesium)

- Women's health (hormonal support, magnesium)

- Men's health (Prostate support)

- general health boost (zinc, oregano oil, mushroom blends and probiotics)

Ask Dr. Jones any questions you may have.
