SUMMARY:
As long as you are living, your body constantly strives to maintain its life-supporting processes. It has highly specialized systems to accomplish this; systems that are more sophisticated and powerful than any drug. They heal injured tissues, destroy microbes, remove toxins and regulate organ function to promote survival. When you have pain , you must optimize these systems so that your body can heal itself properly. This means eating a wholesome, nutrient-dense diet; getting adequate sleep; engaging in regular, moderate exercise; avoiding toxin ingestion; and tending to your social and emotional health. These practices paired with the self-treatment techniques found at PainandInjuryDoctor.com will improve your prognosis.
