This is very important information! Inflammation is the body’s medical tent-if you stop the inflammation, you take down the medical tent. Inflammation is an essential part of healing. If you stop it, the injury becomes chronic.
We talk about this at every single class…
When we rest, ice, and use anti-inflammatories, it impedes the body’s natural processes of healing by retarding inflammation. Inflammation is important, because during injury, like blood flow, inflammation helps flush the immunological factors of healing, factors such as mast cells and neutrophils.
The unfortunate outcome of impeding this process is that the immunological byproducts if left, are known to sensitize our nocicieptors over time. This leads to chronic pain.
How do we combat this and get our patients out of sometimes decades of chronic pain and irritation? We simply reintroduce the inflammatory process. This allows the old immunological factors to be flushed out and resolves most chronic pain issues.
