If you’re having a flare up, it might be because of your diet. The holidays are coming up, which means Christmas cookies, delicious and fattening dip, and maybe an increase in alcohol. While all of these foods are appetizing, they might explain why you are having a flare up.
These foods increase inflammatory factors within your body. Inflammation irritates muscles, tendons, joints, nerves, etc. and causes pain. These foods include:
◾ Refined flour
◾ Sugar
◾ Alcohol
◾ Dairy
◾ Lack of water
Therefore, don’t get discouraged by a flare up. Get back to your normal diet, get back to your normal routine, and the pain WILL go away.
Even through the holidays, we are here for you! If you need help with pain management, give us a call at (615)-900-5187 or schedule an appointment on our website at Tennesseebackpaincenter.com.
