Fish oil is well-known for its many health benefits, and for good reason. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids—specifically EPA and DHA—fish oil supports heart health, brain function, and reduces inflammation throughout the body. For our chiropractic patients, it can play a powerful supporting role in joint health, recovery, and overall wellness.
Key Benefits of Fish Oil
1. Reduces Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a key factor in joint pain and stiffness. Omega-3s help reduce inflammatory markers in the body, which can ease discomfort and improve mobility—especially when combined with regular chiropractic care.
2. Supports Joint and Spine Health
Fish oil helps maintain the health of cartilage and connective tissues. This makes it a helpful supplement for anyone managing arthritis, recovering from injury, or looking to stay active with less joint wear and tear.
3. Boosts Brain and Heart Health
Beyond musculoskeletal benefits, omega-3s support cardiovascular health and cognitive function. That’s why fish oil is often recommended as a part of a comprehensive wellness plan.
A Common Complaint—and a Better Option
While the benefits are clear, many people hesitate to take fish oil because of one unpleasant side effect: fishy burps. This can happen when the oil is not processed or absorbed well, or if it's not high quality.
That’s why we recommend and offer Nordic Naturals fish oil here at the office. It’s exceptionally pure, fresh, and easy to digest—without the aftertaste. Patients consistently report they don’t experience the burping issue with this brand, making it much easier to stay consistent with their supplement routine.
