As far as daily activities go, we mean being able to sit, stand, sleep and walk with comfort, to participate fully in sports and recreation and to be able to do all the tasks of daily living. These tissues are healthy when they are flexible, pliable, freely moving, adequately hydrated and strong but relaxed. 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.
