Pain is the most common reason people seek professional help and most commonly this is for back pain, neck pain and headaches. Pain is often caused by inflammation in and around a muscle, nerve, tendon, ligament or joint following an injury or prolonged micro-trauma. Although pain medications have their place in acute situations, chronic pain from musculoskeletal sources best responds to the drugless approach.

The Goal: The first goal of treatment in these cases is to aid the body in decreasing inflammation and providing relief of pain. This is often done through chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and physical therapeutic modalities such as ultrasound and interferential current. This stage usually lasts from 1-3 weeks depending on factors such as the nature of the injury and the patient’s overall health.

The Next Step: Once the pain and inflammation is under control, the body will begin to heal itself by laying down new tissue to replace the damaged ones. For those looking to optimize this healing process, the next stage of recovery is to Optimize Recovery.
