Could a Food Sensitivity Be the Root Cause of Your Pain & Discomfort?
Do you struggle with chronic discomfort, Inflammation, Headaches or Migraines, Digestive Issues, fatigue, Joint Pain, skin problems, or other unexplained symptoms? While many people focus solely on treating the symptoms, the real cause may be hiding in an unexpected place… your diet.
At Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture, our Functional Medicine programs are designed to uncover the root cause of chronic health concerns rather than simply masking symptoms. One of the most valuable tools we offer is food sensitivity testing, which can help identify foods that may be contributing to ongoing inflammation, pain, and discomfort throughout your body.
If you’ve tried countless treatments without lasting relief, it may be time to ask an important question… Could the Foods You Eat Every Day Be Causing Your Health Issues?
What Are Food Sensitivities?
Unlike a traditional food allergy, which triggers an immediate immune response, food sensitivities often cause a delayed reaction. Symptoms may not appear for several hours, or even days, after consuming the triggering food, making it difficult to identify the source of the problem.
Over time, repeated exposure to these food triggers can contribute to chronic inflammation, which has been linked to a wide variety of health conditions.
Common Foods that Frequently Cause Sensitivities Include:
- Dairy
- Gluten and wheat
- Eggs
- Soy
- Peanuts
- Tree nuts
- Shellfish
- Certain fruits and vegetables
- Artificial additives and preservatives
Because reactions to food sensitivities can be delayed, many people continue eating foods that trigger inflammation and commonly contribute to other conditions without ever realizing they’re affecting their health.
How Do You Know If You Have a Food Sensitivity?
Many individuals are unaware that they have a food sensitivity; in fact, it is not uncommon for one to go undiagnosed. Food sensitivities can affect much more than just the digestive system. Food sensitivities often contribute to symptoms throughout the body.
Common Conditions that May Be a Result of a Food Sensitivity Include:
- Chronic Neck
- Back Pain
- Joint Pain
- Muscle Weakness
- Migraines or Headaches
- Fatigue & Low Energy
- Brain Fog or Difficulty Concentrating
- Bloating & Digestive Discomfort
- Gas & Abdominal Pain
- Irritable bowel symptoms
- Skin Conditions
- Difficulty Losing Weight
Patients of ASFCA throughout Kansas and Missouri who receive food sensitivity testing are surprised to discover that eliminating just one or two problematic foods can significantly improve how they feel.
How Do Food Sensitivities Cause Pain & Inflammation?
Inflammation is one of your body’s many natural defense mechanisms. However, when inflammation becomes chronic, it can begin damaging healthy tissues and contribute to persistent pain and discomfort. For certain individuals, food sensitivities may repeatedly activate the body’s immune system, leading to ongoing inflammation, pain, and discomfort that affect the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, digestion, skin, the nervous system, and brain function.
This chronic inflammatory response from food sensitivities may worsen existing conditions or make it more difficult for your body to heal from injuries.
For patients already receiving Chiropractic Care, Acupuncture, or other Physiotherapies at ASFCA, identifying hidden food sensitivities through Functional Medicine Testing is an excellent way to support these natural wellness treatments and optimize your health.
