Support Full Body Detox With Chiropractic

If dealing with chronic disease, condition, or just poor overall health, detox support combined with chiropractic/health coaching is definitely an option that will help. Toxicity in the body can initiate or worsen existing health conditions.

A detox is not about a massive diet overhaul or spending a lot of time at some clinic. Detox support involves making small changes/adjustments that will help support the body’s natural detoxing process without radical changes. One way that a detox is supported is with chiropractic.

Detoxing the Body

The body is exposed to chemicals/toxins every day from food, air, and other particles that the body comes in contact with. However, the body has a natural ability for managing exposure to toxins to maintain overall health. If the toxins become too much to handle it can lead to a range of symptoms. Symptoms can range from:

• Sleepiness
• Fatigue
• Poor concentration
• Chronic disease
• Musculoskeletal conditions

Methods

Reducing the toxic load can be accomplished by supporting the body’s natural detox pathways. The body has organs/systems that detoxify and keep the body in balance. These support detoxification and include:

• Lymph nodes
• Kidneys
• Blood
• Liver
• Digestive system

Reducing toxin exposure is a long term strategy for improved health. Detox options include:

• Increased water intake
• Nutritional adjustments that focus on increased nutrient whole foods and reduced processed chemical foods
• Regular exercise
• More sleep
• Improved stress management skills/techniques
• Reducing environmental exposure with hygiene and cleaning product awareness
• Cleansing supplements
• Lifestyle changes
• Fasting, intermittent or longer with nutritionist/health coach supervision

Chiropractic Can Help

When the body struggles with toxin overload, the body can begin storing some of these toxins. Common areas include visceral fat and joints, like the spine. If toxins buildup in the spine, spinal misalignment can be exacerbated as it affects blood and nerve circulation. Spinal alignment restoration will help open and support the body’s natural detox abilities and prevent unnecessary storage of toxins.

A chiropractic practitioner specializes in naturally restoring spinal alignment and the body’s balance. This supplies the body with the energy it needs to process and rid itself of toxins. When the body is optimally supported and its detox pathways cleared overall optimal health can be achieved.

Body Composition Support

Food

Neutralizing oxidative stress, lowering inflammation, and boosting metallothionein expression, food can support the body when detoxifying and countering the effects like brain fog, and neurodegenerative disorders. However, foods and nutrients that detoxify can be a part of a healthy diet and lifestyle that includes a regular fitness routine.
