#getadjusted movement: Day 7

Day 7: What is a tip for managing pain between chiropractic visits?

My recommendation for managing pain between chiropractic visits is to stay as active as possible without causing extreme pain. Neurologically, movement overrides pain. Movement also helps with circulation and managing inflammation. Some inflammation is essential for the healing process; however, excessive inflammation causes delayed healing. Being sedentary while recovering from an injury may seem inviting but it can cause more problems. Light activity helps speed recovery and keep you out of pain. Of course the kind of activity that is best will vary depending on the injury, so be sure to discuss this with me or your treating doctor.
