Frequently Asked Questions
Does protein help recovery from adjustments?
Yes, protein provides amino acids essential for tissue repair and inflammation reduction. Consuming 20-30 grams protein within hours of treatment supports your body’s healing response optimally.
Proper nutrition like protein-rich meals enhances the benefits of your chiropractic adjustments at HealthWorks.
Can certain foods increase inflammation?
Processed meats, excess sugar, and refined grains trigger inflammatory responses. However, lean proteins with anti-inflammatory spices and vegetables, like these tostadas, support healing instead.
