SWELLING

When the body is injured, blood rushes to the area to heal the injury.  Swelling or pooling of blood occurs for a period of 12 to 72 hours.  As this is happening, motion of the involved joint begins to be limited and pain also increases.  To reduce pain and swelling, application of ice for 15 to 20 minutes is helpful every hour.  Chiropractic care helps this condition by restoring motion, blocking pain, and removing the swelling by increasing circulation, which in turn relaxes the muscles and accelerates healing.
