Ashburn chiropractor Dr. Keegan has worked with hundreds of people from his Virginia community struggling with a common yet often overlooked problem following an injury: difficulty with weight management.
Why Do People Struggle with Their Weight When Recovering From an Injury?
There can be many reasons why someone struggles with their weight management following an injury:
- Injuries can prevent someone from being able to exercise and maintain their normal healthy active lifestyle
- Because a person may be forced into more sedentary behavior due to their injury, they might require fewer calories in order to maintain their weight, but may struggle with adjusted their food intake accordingly
- Injuries can also bring on issues with depression or simply “feeling down,” which may inspire someone to reach for food for comfort
Whether you’re struggling to maintain your lean body mass or lose extra pounds, trust that our team is here to help. It’s certainly nothing to be ashamed about either; the emotional and psychological stress (let alone physical stress) of injury is something that we all are at risk for facing.
