Fast Track Your Recovery in New Fairfield

Back Pain New Fairfield CT Sciatica
For most, recovering from an injury is an exercise in itself. For an athlete, being told that you have to reduce or halt all activity in order to let the bone or muscle heal is equivalent to torture. However, there are a few things you can do to help speed the healing process so you can get back to your daily routines as soon as possible.

Be Smart About Your Pain Relief Options

When cells are damaged in a fracture, large amounts of prostaglandins are released. Prostaglandins are a group of lipids made at sites of tissue damage or infection that are involved in dealing with injury and illness. They control processes such as inflammation, blood flow, the formation of blood clots and the induction of labor.   Although this is what causes you to feel the pain, the production of these lipids are also instrumental to the early stages of tissue repair.

Here is the catch.  In order to alleviate pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to stop the action of prostaglandins, but the prostaglandins are quintessential to the healing process.   The best suggestion would be stop taking the NSAIDs as soon as possible after suffering a broken bone.  Alternatively, you could take a non-NSAID pain medication such as acetaminophen for pain relief, for it does not have the same effect on prostaglandins.

Say No! to Nicotine

It has been scientifically proven that broken bones of people who smoke take longer to heal. The smoke reduces blood flow, therefore, reduces the number of nutrients and oxygen travelling to the injury site. The chemicals released in the blood from smoking damages the cells that form bone. This process and significantly decrease healing time or prevent complete healing altogether.

Make Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Vitamin K Your New Best Friends

These vitamins and minerals are all integral to healthy bone growth. We have all heard about how important calcium is in the diet, but if you take a lot of calcium without accompanying it with magnesium and vitamins D and K, much of that calcium will not be absorbed by your bones. Dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, collard greens and Swiss chard are among the best sources of not only calcium but magnesium and vitamin K as well. If you live in a sunny climate, you can get a good supply of vitamin D by sitting in the sun for 15-20 minutes a day with arms and legs exposed and using no sunblock. For those who live in less sun-drenched locations (and those of us waiting out the winter months), you can get vitamin D from fortified milk products or you can take a vitamin D supplement.

Give Your Sugar and Caffeine Intake a Break

Caffeine and sugar both increase the excretion of calcium from the bones by 25-50 percent.So try avoid the comfort foods!

Fall Faster into Health

Immune System New Fairfield CT HealthSchool is back in session and It is common that parents find someone gets sick soon after school starts.   So this month let’s all commit to making ourselves a little healthier by choosing one or more of these health habits to practice regularly. Ask one of our Team Docs what he or she suggests, and travel the shortest distance to good health this fall!

Choose 1 or Choose them All!:

  • Sleep at least seven hours each night – Better sleep means a healthier immune system. Remember our brain and body recover from the day’s stresses while we sleep.
  • Get Adjusted—Have you and your family’s spine and nervous system checked each week because your immune system is run by your central nervous system – Chiropractic kids are freakishly healthy— This is one great reason why!
  • Avoid Sugar and Snacks– especially sugary, salty or fried foods, or foods with pesticides or preservatives in them.  Kids will still get a ton of it      at school unfortunately.  However, we limit it where you can. Steer your family towards fruit instead.
  • Reduce Dairy— Try using almond or rice milk instead. Take any child with asthma or ear infections off of dairy and they improve – just about every time. Add in some adjustments and the healing is even faster.
  • Exercise Regularly—Make sure you and your kids exercise each day. Even better, do a small workout in the morning before school together that is fun.  It immediately cuts down on whiny morning behavior and best of all It also gets their lymphatic systems moving which makes for healthier kids.
  • Avoid Medications and Let Fevers Ride. When children do get colds, do not immediately lower their fevers. Comfort and love on them while they have the fever, and monitor them closely, but try not to lower it. The fever is the body’s way of combating the “bug” and learning how to protect itself in the future from the unwanted invader.  Far to commonly we see that family’s that use fever reducing drugs often seem to have colds that last for a week or longer.
  • Eat Breakfast Every Morning – that’s why they call it “breaking the fast,” so get your day started with a  healthy meal.
