The body is an amazing machine. Whether it be a broken bone or an ankle sprain, it begins to heal itself from the moment an injury occurs. There are three basic phases of wound healing and our office focuses on helping you not only get out of pain, but stay out of pain.
This is the body's initial response to injury and is necessary for normal healing to occur, usually lasting 7-10 days. This is why it is necessary to keep all appointments for the first couple of weeks.
Controlling Inflammation: Most people assume that the body's natural inflammatory response to injury is harmful. A more accurate view is that it is actually a protective and necessary response required to set into motion a chain of events required for the body to heal.With all that being said, chiropractic is much like building a house. You must lay a good foundation before putting up walls. When the walls are strong enough you can then build the roof. Chiropractic works on treating the cause of your pain and not the pain itself, unlike a pain pill which only works on reducing pain. We want to correct the issue that is causing the problem. Like the three phases of healing, there are three stages of care.
