Pain of any kind, at any age, is a sign that something isn’t right. Pain signals to us that we have reached a limit or we have sustained an injury.

Our bodies sustain injuries daily and the innate healing ability can repair the damage quite quickly, often within 24 hours. We often talk to people who perform physical activities they are not accustomed to and they can ache for a day or so afterwards. If pain does not resolve in the first day or if pain episodes re-occur, then it is possible that there is enough damage to the ligamentous support of the joint, resulting in subluxation or misalignment. Prompt correction of the joint misalignment usually results in quicker recover times.

Whereas, a subluxated joint can increase pain episodes over times with reference to intensity, duration and frequency. A delay in treatment for such conditions could mean that it is more difficult and expensive to resolve.
