TESTIMONIALS
Fred R.
Let me first say that Michelle is a wonderworker. My neck and back have been not feeling so good, until i went in to see her my results have been very good. Thanks so much.
Laurel H.
I have seen Dr. Morath for everything from a frozen shoulder to a knee-cap that wasn't tracking quite right and was heading for a knee replacement. All surgeries avoided thankfully! She is thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient. I strongly recommend her for naprapathy, training and fitness advice and coaching and nutrition suggestions. She treats the whole person.

Dr. Morath is a very skilled professional who is responsive to "urgent" needs of her patients whenever possible. She keeps my entire skeletal system in optimal alignment given all my surgical limitations. She keeps me functional at my highest level possible.

My wife and I work with Michelle multiple times a month. She is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and knows how to work on the places that are causing you pain. My back pain has gone away by working on the areas that are weak. I could have only accomplished this with her knowledge.
The human body is a complex network of connective tissue that can become irritated, inflamed, strained or imbalanced which often results in discomfort, soreness, pain and loss of range of motion.

and Nutritional Counseling
Many patients don’t realize just how important proper nutrition is and how making a few changes to your eating habits can help reduce inflammation.
Scientists have uncovered how what we eat affects the body’s inflammatory responses. So it’s really helpful that the foods that are anti-inflammatory tend to be the same foods that are already known to be part of a healthy diet.
Let's dig into 3 components of a healthy diet: fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and water.
Whole plant foods, like fruits and veggies, are packed with the anti-inflammatory nutrients that our bodies need. Now is the time to get colorful! Different colors offer different nutrients, so introducing a rainbow onto your plate is both fun and functional!
Here's some inspiration: You probably know that peppers come in a bunch of colors - red, green, yellow and orange. But did you know that the humble carrot can also be purple, red or yellow? Apples are readily available in many shades of red and green. As well, tomatoes can be red, green, orange or purple. So many colors, so many choices.
Keep in mind that, while technically made of fruits and vegetables, highly processed options like potato chips, ketchup and high sugar fruit drinks do not contribute to a healthy diet. (Sorry about that.)
Foods that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids have been proven to help neutralize inflammation. Try some of the following healthy fats in your daily diet.
Nuts like almonds, pistachios and peanuts (and nut butters)
Seeds like sunflower, pumpkin and flaxseed
Fatty fish like salmon, tuna and anchovies
Olives and olive oil
Staying hydrated is a key factor in the fight against inflammation, as this helps to flush toxins and other irritants out of the body.
A good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight each day in ounces of water.
For example, a person weighing 200 pounds should drink 100 ounces or 3 litres of water every day.
When ingredients such as oil, sugar or salt are added to foods, the result is processed food. Most fast foods are highly processed and should be avoided as much as possible. Deep-fried foods have been proven to be highly inflammatory to the body.
Refined sugar comes from sources that are heavily processed to isolate the sugar. Look out for the other names for refined sugars like sucrose, dextrose, and high-fructose corn syrup. These offenders can be found on the ingredients list of many sodas and other sugary drinks as well as sweets and pastries. Best to avoid these as much as possible.
Any processed foods or sugary beverages making claims such as “diet’, “sugar-free” or “fat-free” on their label should be viewed with suspicion and avoided. Chances are that artificial sweeteners, many of which are known to be unhealthy, have been added.
If you suspect you have a food sensitivity that is causing inflammation, but you are not sure what exactly is causing your symptoms, keep a food log.
Note how you feel after you eat, and watch for patterns (bloating, gassy, unusual tiredness, itchiness, rashes, etc.).
You can eliminate a suspected food from your diet for 2 weeks, reintroduce that food for 2 days, and notice if you have a reaction. The reaction can occur immediately, in hours, or in 2 to 4 days.
When you start making these changes, you are going to be getting more fiber in your diet. The good news is that fiber helps with bowel activity. However, if you are dehydrated and eating more fiber, you will become constipated. So, don’t skip the water!
You can reduce inflammation by eating smart
Eat colorful fruits and veggies
Eat healthy fats containing Omega-3s like salmon, olive oil, avocados & nut butters
Stay hydrated, drink water
