How Nutrition And Supplementation Play An Important Role In Your Recovery With Special Guest Simon Billings

There is a growing group of chiropractors and other practitioners who are stepping outside the narrative of their prescriptive role and embracing a more holistic approach. This seems to be the result of realising the need to assist the patient in different areas, where needed, in order to help them over the tipping point towards healing. This is often needed when patients experience chronic issues which do not resolve with a single pronged approach. Multi-pronged approaches, for this reason, are often a life saver for patients who have not been successfully helped in the past.

Today we interview Simon Billings who graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in 2001 and is today a Doctor of Chiropractic at St.James Chiropractic Clinic in South Hampton, England. He has lectured nationally and internationally on the subjects of jaw joint disorders, nutrition and trigenics. He has also published articles on the subjects of migraine, vitamin D deficiency, mis-shapen head syndrome (plagiocephaly) and ankylosing spondylitis. Simon also teaches at the Academy of Chiropractic Nutrition. An organisation which he created with the goal to help chiropractors be more efficient with treating their patients through nutrition and supplementation. He speaks of the metabolic side of health as being overlooked by many chiropractors.

 

In this episode we discuss the need for proper nutrition and supplementation where needed alongside physical therapies as a way to help patients, otherwise often not helped, towards recovery of their complaints. Quite often the ability of the body to heal is overlooked when only applying physical, hands-on therapies and so in the words of Simon Billings “you are flogging a dead horse”. If the body is not ready to heal, for whatever reason, it will not heal. Stimulating the body from a point where you enable the healing ability by correcting for deficiencies or toxicities becomes the goal and so we set the body up towards getting better.

 

Some of the things you’ll discover...

 

• That all the pillars of health needs to be addressed
• The metabolic side of health is probably the most overlooked & poorly treated
• The necessity of vitamin D and how to best get it on sunny days
• Why a multi-pronged approach works better than a single therapy
• How nutrition and supplements may be the missing link your recovery process
• That there is hope for long term chronic issues when fixing underlying problems
• The importance of having a good working diagnosis based on sound findings

 

Highlights

Increasingly we’re seeing the important role that nutrition plays in the management of chronic diseases but it also extends to musculoskeletal care. If you’re suffering from chronic, persistent pain, and you’re not seeing the improvements you would expect, or desire, then you need to seek additional advice to support your recovery. Healthcare practitioners must realise their own limitations and expand their network to maximise the support they can offer their patients.
