Your body heals faster and holds adjustments longer when it has the raw materials it needs.
Chiropractic care addresses the structural side of your health. Nutrition addresses the biochemical side. In many patients, chronic inflammation, poor tissue healing, and recurring pain have a nutritional component that spinal adjustments alone will not resolve.
We offer personalized nutritional guidance as part of an integrated approach to your health. This is not generic advice. We look at what you are dealing with clinically and recommend targeted support that fits your situation.
Dr. Megan Hackett developed a particular depth in botanical medicine and nutraceutical therapies over her years of practice, and that whole-health perspective continues to inform how we approach patient care. We work with high-quality professional-grade supplements that we can order directly through the office, so you are not left navigating the supplement market on your own.
Botanical and nutraceutical interventions we commonly work with include anti-inflammatory support, joint and connective tissue support, digestive health, and general wellness supplementation tailored to your needs.
Chronic inflammation is a factor in a wide range of musculoskeletal problems. Diets high in processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and industrial seed oils can maintain a state of low-grade inflammation that makes it harder for your body to respond to treatment and easier for pain to return.
We provide practical dietary guidance aimed at reducing inflammatory burden. This does not require an extreme approach. Small, sustainable changes in what you eat can meaningfully improve how your body responds to chiropractic care and how quickly you recover from injuries.
Excess body weight increases mechanical load on the spine and joints, which contributes to pain and makes it harder to maintain the results of chiropractic treatment. We approach weight management practically and without judgment, focusing on sustainable habits that support both your structural and overall health.
We stock and can order professional-grade nutritional supplements directly through the practice. If you are already taking supplements, bring a list and we can review what you have and whether it fits your current health goals.
