Nutrition & Anti-Inflammatory Supplements | Dallas–Fort Worth

Practical, evidence-aware strategies for pain control, recovery, and bone/soft-tissue health—without fads. We align choices with your diagnosis and training load, and we time supplements around procedures for safety. 


Who Benefits

Anyone seeking fewer flares, better tissue quality, and smarter fueling for rehab and return to sport. If fracture risk is a concern, add a DEXA Bone Density Review so nutrition supports measurable bone outcomes.

How We Work

Food First

We start with whole foods that build a strong base for recovery.

Smart Supplements

When needed, we add proven supplements and pair them with rehab for lasting gains.

Advanced Care

If pain or inflammation persists, we coordinate injections or surgery when appropriate.

Supplements & Joint Health

Food comes first, but targeted supplements can support pain relief, strength, and recovery when paired with therapy. Always let us know what you take so we can plan safely.

Anti-Inflammatory Support

Turmeric / Curcumin

May modestly reduce osteoarthritis pain and improve function. Pair with rehab; avoid high doses near procedures.

Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)

Supported by trials for small-to-moderate pain and function gains. May reduce NSAID reliance.

Joint & Tissue Health

Collagen Peptides

May help maintain cartilage elasticity and reduce stiffness. Combine with strength rehab for the best effect.

Glucosamine + Chondroitin

Backed by research for joint lubrication and cushioning support. Benefits appear after several weeks.

Bone & General Nutrition

Vitamin D3 + K2

Supports bone mineral density and calcium absorption synergy. Essential for injury recovery.

Calcium Citrate

Gentle on digestion and vital for structural bone strength; pair with resistance exercise.

Safety Considerations

Supplement Interactions

Always disclose all vitamins and herbs to avoid mixing with prescribed meds or blood thinners.

Medical Oversight

Stop non-essential supplements before surgery or procedures; follow physician dosing guidance.

Quality and Dosing

Third-Party Testing

Choose NSF or USP-verified brands for purity, potency, and heavy-metal safety.

Consistent Intake

Benefits build gradually; take with meals and track tolerance over 4–8 weeks.

Other Options

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

May lessen joint discomfort and oxidative stress when paired with mobility training.

Boswellia Serrata

Natural anti-inflammatory studied for arthritis-related stiffness; can complement turmeric therapy.

Frequently asked questions

What supplements actually help with pain?

Turmeric and omega-3s show the strongest evidence for modest osteoarthritis symptom relief, and undenatured type II collagen may help select knees. Creatine supports strength during rehab. We convert relief into durable function with Physical Therapy & Rehab and use targeted procedures from Injections & Ablations only if needed. If imaging and symptoms disagree, request an immediate Imaging Second-Opinion Review to avoid unnecessary tests.

Do I need a multivitamin for joint or spine health?

Most adults don’t need a multivitamin for joint pain. Correct specific deficiencies instead—especially vitamin D, calcium, and protein when bone or tendon healing is the priority. We personalize targets and pair nutrition with Physical Therapy & Rehab to drive measurable progress. If fracture risk or bone quality is a concern, schedule a DEXA Bone Density Review so supplementation supports outcomes, not guesses.

Is creatine safe to take, and who should consider using it?

Creatine monohydrate (3–5 g daily) is well-supported for increasing strength and lean mass during rehab, especially in older adults and vegetarians. It’s generally safe; avoid if you have known kidney disease or uncontrolled hypertension. We combine creatine with progressive loading through Physical Therapy & Rehab and adjust plans if imaging shows structural limits via Imaging Second-Opinion Review. Ask before procedures to coordinate perioperative use.

Which collagen supplement works best?

Undenatured type II collagen (UC-II) has small trials suggesting knee pain and function improvements; collagen peptides help some tendons when paired with loading. Neither replaces training. We align expectations, then implement a progression in Physical Therapy & Rehab. If symptoms suggest mechanical catching, a directed evaluation and Arthroscopy (Knee & Shoulder) may be more definitive than supplements. We’ll tell you straight which path fits.

What should I stop eating before injections or surgery?

For safety, we ask patients to stop ginkgo and garlic 7–14 days before procedures and to avoid high-dose turmeric/curcumin near surgery due to potential bleeding risk. Tell us everything you take. We’ll time supplements around Injections & Ablations and confirm plans at your Appointments visit. If you’re unsure, ask—conservative timing beats complications, and we’ll offer alternatives that won’t derail rehab.

Do turmeric, garlic, or ginkgo actually help with pain or inflammation?

Turmeric can modestly reduce osteoarthritis pain but may interact with blood-thinners; garlic and ginkgo have limited or no joint-pain benefit and carry bleeding concerns. Use food first; consider standardized products only when the fit is clear. We pair any supplement with load-based care in Physical Therapy & Rehab and escalate precision care under Injections & Ablations if inflammation or mechanical issues persist.
