Swelling is not a complication it’s a biological process and a critical part of healing.
In this video, I walk through the stages of inflammation, what’s happening at the tissue level, and why swelling changes over time rather than disappearing overnight. From the initial inflammatory response to the gradual resolution phase, each stage plays a specific role in recovery.
