Our Chiropractor's Tip on Supplements

As a doctor of Chiropractic, my goal is to holistically care for your health. Not only do I develop a chiropractic care plan for your physical body, I also take into account the emotional and spiritual needs that are important to you. With this in mind, my practice, Michaux Family Chiropractic in Clermont, Florida, improves your health and wellness with supplements including vitamins and minerals.

Since the United States spends 2.4 trillion dollars each year on treating illnesses and injuries, chiropractors offer an alternative treatment program designed to improve your overall health. This includes supplementation guidance and I want to reach out to those in Clermont, Davenport, Oakland, Montverde, Minneola, Kissimmee, Groveland, Mascotte, Windermere, Four Corners, Leesburg and Winter Garden. My goal is to improve the quality of life for you and your friends and family. We can do this together by developing a chiropractic care program complete with supplements to support a healthy system.

I am often asked, if I could recommend only one supplement, which one would it be? My immediate response is EPA/DHA. Although this might sound foreign to you and not your typical Vitamin C to boost immunity, you are probably already familiar with the benefits of EPA/DHA. EPA/DHA is one of the most important components of Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil. EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid, and DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, are known as long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids. These are found in the fatty layers of fish. If you are not a fan of eating fish, and even if you do enjoy seafood, taking an EPA/DHA supplement is much easier, has no calories and the benefits are undeniable.

Our team at Michaux Family Chiropractic want our patients to understand how EPA/DHA can improve everyone's health. It targets inflammation and reduces it which benefits those suffering from conditions such as cancer, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and other auto-immune disorders. It can relieve aches and pains and can also help the lifestyle of those with ADHD. EPA/DHA also has heart-boosting, brain-improving and joint-sustaining benefits. It is safe for almost all medical states including pregnancy, since it supports fetal development. If your immune system has been compromised or needs a pick-me-up, EPA/DHA is the supplement for you. I also suggest EPA/DHA if you are dealing with gastro-intestinal complaints.

Things to look for when choosing supplements to your chiropractic care include:

• Purity Certified
• Pharmaceutical Grade
• Tested for heavy metals, pesticides and other contaminants
