Eat Well: Fueling Your Body's Natural Healing Power
Discover how anti-inflammatory nutrition accelerates healing, reduces pain, and supports optimal nervous system function
You are literally built from what you eat.
Every cell in your body—every bone, every muscle, every organ, every nerve—is constructed from the nutrients you provide through your diet. Your body replaces millions of cells every single day, and the quality of those new cells depends entirely on the quality of fuel you give it.
At Family Chiropractic, we adjust your spine to remove nerve interference and optimize nervous system function. But we can't out-adjust a poor diet.
Here's the truth:
You can have the most perfectly aligned spine in the world, but if you're eating inflammatory foods that create internal chaos, your body will struggle to heal. Conversely, when you combine chiropractic care with proper nutrition, you create the ideal conditions for remarkable healing.
Understanding Inflammation:
Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury, infection, or irritation. When you cut your finger, twist your ankle, or fight off a virus, inflammation is part of the healing process.
Acute inflammation is GOOD. It's protective, necessary, and temporary.
But chronic inflammation is destructive.

SUPPLEMENT QUALITY MATTERS
Not all supplements are created equal:
Many contain fillers, additives, or poor-quality ingredients
Cheap supplements often aren't absorbed well
Some contain the wrong forms of nutrients
We carry high-quality supplements in our office and can recommend where to purchase quality products online.
Always consult with Dr. Misty before adding supplements, especially if you're on medications.
