A sudden incorrect movement can easily lead to back, neck, shoulder, elbow and, ankle pain. After an injury, your muscles move differently, the joints lock up and this leads to changes in the nervous system. In other words, an injury causes a complex chain reaction.
Scientific research shows that movement or mobilization techniques can improve the pain in the acute phase. Step 1 of the three-phase treatment plan is to mobilize; this step mainly consists of chiropractic-specific techniques to mobilize joints and relax muscles.
