Can The Food You Eat Lead to Low Back Pain?

People with atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries which leads to decreased blood flow) are associated with increased disc degeneration and subjective low back pain.  The decreased flow of blood to the disc complex accelerates the degenerative or arthritic process.  So.....what does this mean?  If you eat a diet high in saturated (bad) fats, not only can it cause heart disease, but it can also damage your spine. Eating a healthy diet, exercise, and regular chiropractic care can keep your low back feeling pain free!
