Most people think of injuries as one big moment — the fall, the twist, the awkward lift. But often, it’s the tiny, repeated stresses that wear us down the most.
Repetitive stress happens when you do the same motion, posture, or activity over and over — sitting at a desk, looking down at your phone, running with a slightly off gait, or even sleeping in a way that strains your neck. Over time, these “micro-traumas” create small amounts of damage in muscles, joints, and connective tissues.
Here’s the catch: your body is designed to repair itself, but if the nervous system isn’t getting clear signals, that healing process slows down. Those little injuries don’t go away… they stack up. Layer upon layer, they can lead to stiffness, pain, decreased performance, and even bigger injuries down the road.
Chiropractic care helps by restoring healthy movement in your joints and improving brain-body communication, so tissues get the signals they need for recovery. It’s like removing roadblocks so your body’s repair crews can get to work. 🛠️
Don’t wait for the “big injury” to hit. Take care of the little ones — your future self will thank you.
