I got help from a trainer and physical therapist.

I got help from acupuncturists.

I got help.

But you want to do things that are going to help your body heal.

So when you're healing from an injury like a fall or a sprain or you have a surgery,

you know, which is just a plant injury.

The principles of healing are the same, but the timelines and the warning signs are not.

So let's talk about when you should bring in extra support.

First, if you're not getting better, right?

If you have more swelling, more redness, more pain, that's not good.

Time to get seen and see what's going on.

If you're losing mobility and function, get seen.

If you have weird symptoms like numbness or tingling, not a good thing.

If you're not getting better over two or three weeks and you shouldn't be seeing improvement, you want to go see somebody because maybe there's something else going on.

Maybe there's some other injury.

Functional medicine practitioners, physical therapists, body workers, all that can really help your healing dramatically.

And what's really cool is that there's a lot of techniques.

I mentioned a few of them here.

Red light therapy, laser therapy, PMF we didn't talk about, but I'm using that as well.

Pulse electromagnetic frequency helps also repair inflammation, healing and bone repair.
