The Difference Between Soreness and Injury

Not all discomfort means injury. Muscle soreness typically improves within a few days. Injury-related pain often lingers, worsens, or returns with specific movements.

When pain is coming from joint dysfunction or nerve irritation, chiropractic adjustments help restore proper movement and communication. If pain is related to tissue damage — such as strains, tendinitis, or old injuries — SoftWave therapy helps improve circulation and tissue regeneration.

Knowing what’s causing your pain allows us to choose the right approach, preventing minor issues from turning into long-term problems.
