Nutritional Supplementation

Nutrition plays a vital role in total wellness. When an individual is trying to regain health from injuries or chronic conditions, Dr. Dunn strongly recommends increased attentiveness to good eating habits, quality vitamin and mineral supplementation, and drinking extra water each day.

Research studies demonstrate that, for many people, a daily multivitamin may not be adequate. Daily recommended requirements for vitamins and minerals were formulated based on the minimum amounts necessary to prevent disease. However, recent studies have focused on the role of the nutrients themselves and whether function of the body may be optimized at higher levels. Dr. Dunn strongly believes – and experience has borne out – that his patients do experience an increased speed of healing in their joints, ligaments and muscles through nutritional supplementation.

“Not all nutritional supplements are equal in effectiveness. Many brands vitamin and mineral complexes are commercially available, but Dr. Dunn recommends only those nutritional supplements that are specifically designed to become “bioavailable” in the body within proper timing.” These supplements provide optimal support for healing and growth in muscles, joints, and ligaments.

To provide his patients the optimum path to healing, Dr. Dunn is alert to the research currently revealing the value of nutritional supplementation. Glucosamine Sulfate has recently been found to promote healing and even slow down degeneration of weight-bearing joints. Other vitamins and minerals play a definitive role in bone health and other types of chronic nerve and muscle disease. The Dunn Wellness Center offers patients a professional program of nutritional supplementation that provides the proper nutrients to enhance healing and overall wellness.
