For decades researchers have been investigating the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in our diets.  It has been shown that its inclusion in our diet can have benefits from cellular inflammation to reducing risk of heart disease.  Below is some basic information about the topic.

·         May reduce the symptoms of depression

·         Improve prenatal neurological development 

·         Assist in the treatment of asthma

·         Reduce ADHD symptoms

·         May protect against Alzheimer's disease and dementia

 

Sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Fish sources:

There are concerns with the consumption of fish, such as mercury and PCB contamination, as well as renewability of the sources of fish, and farming concerns.  However, these considerations should be managed and not treated as reason to remove fish as an important part of one’s diet. With that being said, the following is a list of fish that balance these concerns well.

·         Wild Alaskan Salmon

·         Arctic Char

·         Atlantic Mackerel

·         Sardines

·         Black Cod (Sablefish)

·         Anchovies

·         Oysters

·         Rainbow/Golden Trout

·         Albacore Tuna

·         Muscles

 

Plant sources:

For those individuals that fish is not an option, such as strict vegetarians, there are many plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids to choose from.  Even those that eat fish may want to acquire part of their omega-3 consumption from the following sources to reduce the possible fish contaminants.

·         Flaxseed

·         Chi a seeds

·         Walnuts

·         Soy

·         Pumpkin

·         Canola

·         Hemp seeds

·         Cauliflower

·         Hummus

·         Brussels sprouts

 

Supplements:

While nutritional supplements can often make up for nutritional deficiencies in ones diet it is not wise to consider them a replacement for a diet consisting of a variety of foods.  If it is deemed that one’s diet is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, your doctor should be consulted as to which supplement may meet your needs.

 

Consider scheduling a consultation with Dr White to discuss further how the proper consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can impact the quality of your life.

Cox Flexion Distraction Treats Back Pain

Over the past 30 years Dr. James Cox has been developing and researching a non-surgical, non-medication, natural manipulative technique that is highly effective at treating spine, disc and nerve root related conditions. During his training at Palmer College of Chiropractic, Dr White, one of  thousands of Cox certified chiropractors across the country, sought additional training and certification in Cox Flexion Distraction Technique.  

Dr White performs Cox Flexion Distraction

Some of the conditions that have been shown to respond  well to this technique over the years are: vertebral disc degeneration, disc herniation, disc prolapse, vertebral canal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spondylosis, facet tropism and facet syndrome. At Action Chiropractic we too have seen much success in the treatment of these and other conditions using this method.

In 2013 the Journal of the American Medical Association published a position paper in which it is recommended that it should be standard of care for back pain to be treated conservatively with methods such as chiropractic, osteopathy and physical therapy for up to 3 months prior to acceptance of a patient as a candidate for surgery. However, not all physical medicine techniques are identical.

Those individuals with low back pain that are serious about staving off the necessity of back surgery should highly consider gaining more information about the benefits of this technique.  For more information click on this link to the learn more about Cox Distraction Technique: http://www.coxtechnic.com/patients.aspx. This site will provide you information about the protocols and the NIH funded research that has led to it's creation.  The Cox technique is the most highly researched and published technique in the chiropractic profession.

Prospective patients may schedule a free pain consultation with Dr White at Danbury Action Chiropractic.  During this consultation he will discuss the symptoms, progression of the condition and review any diagnostic testing such as x-rays and MRIs studies that have already been completed. If it is determined that the patient's condition may respond to Cox Flexion Distraction he will provide the option for scheduling a thorough orthopedic-neurological evaluation designed to uncover the precise cause of the pain and thereby through the technique protocols recommend the best treatment possible.
