Comprehensive Evaluation, Nutrition & Lifestyle Support in Cary & Wake Forest
Some patients experience pain, inflammation, or delayed healing that does not fully resolve with physical care alone. In these cases, additional clinical insight can help identify factors that may be interfering with recovery.
At Chiropractic Pain & Injury Center, Dr. Tammy Atkinson offers advanced evaluation services that may include targeted nutrition and lifestyle guidance when appropriate. These services are designed to support healing, improve outcomes, and enhance the effectiveness of physical treatment plans.
This approach is not wellness coaching or generic nutrition advice. It is used selectively, based on clinical findings, when it can meaningfully contribute to recovery.
When Nutrition & Lifestyle Support May Be Helpful
Nutrition and lifestyle factors may be addressed when they are relevant to conditions such as:
- Chronic or recurring pain
- Inflammation that slows tissue healing
- Nerve-related symptoms
- Recurrent injuries or poor recovery
- Fatigue or metabolic factors affecting rehabilitation
These factors are considered only when they impact musculoskeletal or neurological healing, not as a standalone service.
How This Fits Into Your Care Plan
When clinically indicated, Dr. Atkinson may incorporate:
- Review of health history and contributing factors
- Targeted nutrition recommendations to support healing and recovery
- Lifestyle strategies that influence inflammation, tissue repair, and nervous system function
This information is used to refine and support existing care, which may include chiropractic treatment, spinal decompression, laser therapy, rehabilitation, traction, posture correction, or injury recovery services.
The goal is not to manage symptoms indefinitely, but to remove barriers to healing and help patients recover more efficiently.
Relationship to Diagnostic Imaging & Physical Evaluation
Advanced evaluation services complement, but do not replace, physical examination and diagnostic imaging. When appropriate, imaging such as X-rays or MRI may be ordered or reviewed to better understand structural or neurological contributors to pain.
Nutrition and lifestyle considerations are addressed only after a thorough physical and clinical assessment, ensuring care decisions are grounded in objective findings.
Next Steps
Advanced evaluation and nutrition/lifestyle support are offered only after an initial examination and when clinically appropriate. If your recovery has stalled or your condition has not responded as expected, an evaluation can help determine whether additional support may be beneficial.
