Thanksgiving foods should be festive, comforting, and nostalgic – reminding us of precious moments and time spent with loved ones during years past. However, for those suffering with neck pain and back pain, traditional recipes can cause pain flare-ups by triggering an inflammatory response in the body. Instead of suffering through the season, we’d like to offer some food substitutes that can help reduce the likelihood of suffering from pain due to inflammation.
Opt For Apple Pie! High fat, high-sugar desserts like pecan pie create the perfect storm for inflammation. Instead of going this route, opt for apple pie. While apple pie can contain a lot of sugar, the filling has a lot less inflammation-causing fat than pecans!
Think Cranberry Sauce, Not Gravy… Thanksgiving turkey can be slightly dry and best enjoyed with a sauce or gravy. The problem is that gravy is made from fatty drippings and then combined with even more fat and largely unhealthy ingredients. Since fat equates to inflammation, it’s best to opt for cranberry sauce as your way of adding moisture and flavor to all of your favorite foods, including the turkey!
Rethink Casseroles… Instead of green been casserole, macaroni and cheese casserole, and sweet potato casserole which adds a lot of unnecessary fat and even sugar to otherwise healthy foods, why not enjoy your favorites as purely and with as few ingredients as possible? Doing so surely can keep you healthier, reduce inflammation, and result in less pain. For example, roasted sweet potatoes or fingerling potatoes, green beans cooked in olive oil with a little salt, and pan seared brussel sprouts are all better options for your health than inflammation-inducing casseroles. Plus, you’ll feel good long after the holiday has come and gone!
Make Healthier Stuffing. A lot of stuffing is made of white bread and lots of butter. This combination of a simple carbohydrate and a lot of fat can most definitely create an inflammatory response that leads to chronic pain. Instead of putting your health at risk, substitute white bread for whole grain bread and use low-sodium chicken brother instead of butter. Want to make it even healthier and flavorful? Add a few of your favorite fruits or vegetables to your stuffing! Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, which naturally fight inflammation.

We were in a terrible accident and Stridewell got us in to see their PA in 48 hours. My husband, me and my daughter all at one time. They were so kind, professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to everyone. I can't say enough good things.

The Stridewell staff is very friendly, considerate and efficient medical office I have been to. They got me right in to see a PA, gave me a full exam, addressed all my needs and made me feel like they genuinely cared about me. I highly recommend Jaclyn, the staff and Stridewell.
~ Nicole
I thoroughly appreciate the professional care that I have received here . Jaclyn Schroeder was very professional and managed to communicate with me without any language barrier which was nice because I don't understand any medical terminology. I absolutely trust in their care and that's a big deal in these uncertain times. Thanks stridewell !
