Diet
and Pain
We recently had a patient come in for
Prolotherapy injections,
(Watch where do
Prolotherapy injections go and do they hurt?)
for upper
back pain,
low back pain,
and
hip pain.
She had had a nightmare experience with surgery and was left with so
much pain that she had to quit her job and spent most days in bed.
Obviously her life was falling apart. After a few
Prolotherapy treatments she began to feel some relief, unfortunately she would need
quite a few more, and since she lived on the other side of the country,
traveling to see us so often was getting difficult.
Diet to accelerate healing
The patient decided to have our
Hauser
Diet Typing
test so that she could isolate on foods that would promote healing.
At her first nutrition consultation our nutritionist explained that
Diet
typing revealed that she needed a high protein
diet
to support her blood
sugars.
The patient told our nutritionist that she was a “sugar freak” and loved
sweet tea, juice, sweetened cereal, and sweets. She was not happy about
her high protein low carb
Hauser Otter Diet.
But when we explained that the
Otter Diet could help with healing, she
decided to do it.
After one month on the Otter Diet, our patient set up a phone
consultation to go over the diet. The patent reported that her pain
would come and go, but it was definitely improving, In fact, the week
before she had been able to clean the house, do some gardening, take
some photographs, and even host a Bar-B-Q for some of her friends.
After reviewing her food diary it was clear that she had made some
significant changes to her diet to decrease her sugar and add protein
and she was seeing a positive response to the diet. |
