Have you been dealing with stiff, achy joints? Do you notice you struggle to keep your energy up and wonder if your eating habits affect your ability to get and stay active? You may be suffering unnecessarily due to poor food choices.
Fortunately, at Synergy Therapeutic Group, our physical therapists are highly skilled at resolving old and new injuries and providing you with all the tools you need, including nutritional guidance, to live a healthy, active lifestyle!
Eating a healthy diet is essential for our bodies to heal correctly, and it is also beneficial for relieving the aches and pains in our joints. For example, eating too many processed foods with high sugar content is associated with elevated levels of pain and inflammation.
A healthy, well-balanced diet provides our body with the nutrients it needs to operate more effectively. Healthy foods help reduce inflammation and joint pain and strengthen your immune system’s ability to fight disease and heal faster from an injury. Foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins will improve how the systems in your body work with one another so you can enjoy an active lifestyle.
Our team at Synergy Therapeutic Group will help you resolve your pain and injuries while ensuring your recovery with sound nutritional advice for the best possible outcome and optimal health and well-being!
If you have been living with pain, dealing with an injury, and want to live your most active life, call our office today and set up an appointment with one of our physical therapists!
How nutrition can help your recovery
Many people seek help from our physical therapists to find relief and learn that poor nutrition may negatively affect their condition and recovery. Our team at Synergy Therapeutic Group understands how food affects your body and will guide you through the steps you need to take to experience lasting relief and a lifetime of improved health.
An unhealthy diet is associated with processed foods, typically high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and chemicals to preserve them to sit on shelves for years. Research has shown that highly processed foods are associated with increased inflammation and pain. These foods are likely causing an unnecessary burden on your body’s ability to heal and function at its optimal levels.
This is so important for your recovery because the intensity of your pain is connected to your inflammation levels. People that routinely eat processed foods have been shown to experience higher levels of inflammation markers in their blood, which is one of the leading causes of severe joint pains.
Food has a significant impact on how your body functions, and the worse your diet, the more likely you will develop chronic pain. Poor nutritional habits will also affect your energy level, mood, and motivation to be active.
Eating a diet with proper nutrients plays a crucial role in the health of our joints, muscles, and overall bodily function. In your Synergy Therapeutic Group physical therapy sessions, we also address how foods bring health and wellness to the body and prevent mild pain or strain from becoming debilitating injuries. At Synergy Therapeutic Group , you will not only recover in a timely manner but can also enjoy long-term relief and enjoy the activities you love the most.
What to expect at your Synergy Therapeutic Group sessions
At your initial evaluation, your physical therapist will start with an examination consisting of a thorough medical history, including your previous health issues, past injuries, and the types of foods you are eating. Our goal is to identify all the factors contributing to your specific condition.
Our physical therapists will use this information to develop a comprehensive program that includes targeted manual techniques and appropriate pain relief techniques, modalities, and nutritional recommendations to ensure your body functions at its best.
We are skilled at designing programs to get you moving without limitations. In addition, we will educate you and support you through the steps you need to take to make the changes to your lifestyle choices for optimal health and well-being! Our programs are tailored to your specific restrictions and weaknesses.
