Nutrition & lifestyle guidance
What you eat, how you sleep and how you spend eight hours at a desk all affect how you heal. You won't get a lecture. You'll get a few practical, specific changes that support your treatment.
- One-on-one care
- No referral needed
- Early & after-hours visits
Could small changes at home help your pain?
This is useful if:
- You suspect your diet is making inflammation worse
- You want to lose weight to take pressure off your back or knees
- You sleep poorly and wake up sore
- You work at a desk or on a job site all day
- You want to understand which supplements are worth it
- You'd like a plan that fits a busy life
This guidance supports your treatment. It isn't a diet program.
How it works
Inflammation and food
Diet won't fix a herniated disc, but it can make inflammation better or worse. You'll get simple, realistic guidance on foods that support recovery, and an honest opinion on which supplements are worth your money.
Sleep, desk and daily habits
Your pillow, your chair height, the way you carry a bag or look at your phone: small daily habits add up to big strain. Dr. Burstein helps you spot the ones that matter for your problem.
Healthy weight, less load
Every extra pound adds load to your spine, hips and knees. If weight is part of the picture, you'll get a plan that's sustainable.
