In other words, the muscles are not tight, knotty, lumpy or stringy. There is no pain, inflammation, or swelling. There is no stiffness and you can perform your daily activities with no problems. Some tissue healing takes place with chiropractic adjustments, massage, exercise, and energy work. These help heal tissue by increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Heat brings nutrients to the area and ice helps reduce swelling and inflammation.
Vitamins, protein, essential fatty acids and minerals supply the raw materials necessary for healing to take place. For example, liquid collagen helps remove scar tissue. Maintenance care is highly recommended so as to prevent or minimize further injury or aggravation of previous symptoms. Also, tissues may not have fully healed by this time, and regular chiropractic care can facilitate continued healing. Buildup of everyday stresses and strains can be prevented so that stress does not accumulate to a degree where it s not manageable and the body starts to break down from wear and tear.
