You can’t choose when an accident happens. That’s why they are called accidents.

Accidents usually happen at the worst possible time.

When we are rushing around, have no time, and getting stressed, that’s when we are prone to an accident.

We aren’t paying attention and are focused on something other than where we are, mistakes, and accidents, can happen.

When an accident happens, when you hurt yourself, it is important to get treatment as soon as possible.

This will prevent the injury from becoming long lasting.

I like the saying “the longer it sticks around, the longer it will stick around.”

If you can get treatment, like trigger point therapy (like Nimmo/ Receptor Tonus Technique), it can help to prevent the issue from becoming long lasting and chronic.

When you injure yourself, like when you slip and fall, you sustain soft tissue damage. This entails maybe some bruising, or maybe a muscle pull which is a sprain or strain, while other muscles will tighten up to catch yourself and can go into spasm.

When a muscle is pulled, or sprained or strained, it is torn on a microscopic level. It is not torn completely through, it becomes frayed, or partially torn. The rest of the muscle will reflexively tighten up to prevent further tearing- it is a self protective mechanism.

This tightening will cause the muscle to send increased neurological stimulation into the spinal cord and comes out the other side telling the muscles to contract more. This creates a new neurological pathway that once established, it is there for life. Thus making it easier for the muscle to keep falling back into that old established pattern of spasm and inflammation over and over again.

If you can get trigger point therapy (like Nimmo/ Receptor Tonus Technique) or something else similar to it, within 48 to 72 hours, you can prevent those neurological pathways from being established.

If you can get treatment within 48 to 72 hours after an injury, you can help to heal that injury quickly, and prevent it from becoming chronic.

That’s why businesses like mine, chiropractors who deal with injuries and the effects of accidents, need to be available for people who walk in and need immediate relief.

Yesterday a patient of mine who I haven’t seen in months, slipped and fell on newly fallen and slippery snow, right outside of my office. He walked in and my wife who happened to be working at the time, fit him right in.

I was able to do trigger point therapy (Nimmo/ Receptor Tonus Technique) and red light, deep tissue, therapy laser on him to help prevent those neurological pathways of pain and spasm from becoming established in the first place. The trigger point therapy will help to start the healing process much quicker than on his own. 

The trigger point therapy will reduce inflammation and restore normal neurological functioning of the muscle, and reduce the muscle spasm. 

If you have an accident and need help, don’t hesitate to come in.

You may have to wait a bit, but if you walk into my office, you’ll get seen.

Have a Pain Free Day.
