Breakthrough Discovery : “Most Back Pain is caused by grain and gluten”
“Most back pain is caused by grain and gluten” Dr Clayton Perks (chiropractor)
In my professional opinion this is the biggest breakthrough yet in the treatment of chronic back pain. In my opinion the biomechanical component of back pain is largely secondary. Chronic low back pain, that is a low grade ache with occasional acute episodes can be greatly reduced by chiropractic care and going on to a diet of zero gluten and virtually no grain. I think this discovery will change the way back pain is treated globally. As a chiropractor who owns 20 clinics I have a vast amount of research and experience in the field of back pain. My clinics have seen over 1 million patient visits in the past 10 years alone so our real world experience is vast. Chiropractic care for patients with back pain is greatly enhanced when used in conjunction with a zero gluten diet. You must go for zero gluten for this to work. Gluten free isn’t good enough. Gluten Free products are largely out. Ive combined ideas from 3 different diets.
1. Gluten free from the coeliacs diet. This is where it all started around 2005 when our family tried a gluten free diet. Some great general health benefits.
2. Zero gluten diet. A few years later someone suggested to go for ZERO gluten. This turned out to be a very significant step. Cutting down on gluten is virtually a waste of time.
3. The Paleo diet is a great base. This is great for recipes and very helpful, however in my opinion it doesnt really work for back pain as its isnt zero gluten. As Ive stated chronic back pain can be resolved however zero gluten works best. The paleo diet of 40% lean meat, 40% veg, minimal potato and rice, and 20 % fruit is excellent. Also 1 – 2 L of water a day. If you have chronic back pain try this diet. ZERO gluten and no grain is likely to be the solution for chronic back pain suffers worldwide. Of course some back pain is due to severe trauma, however the majority is not. This works for most back pain suffers. Its also a fantastic, easy way to lose weight. Do I still get body work work from a Chiropractor? Yes indeed as it helps restore the biomechanics and takes stress off the nervous system.
