Everybody gets aches and pains.. That’s just part of living, but sometimes those pains come and you try to deal with them yourself. Often our patients will try to live with the pain for days, weeks, even months before finally visiting a pain professional. It’s ok to wait, but we tell patients up front if your pain lasts for longer than 4 consecutive days, it probably isn’t going to leave without expert help.

Muscle and ligament sprains and strains will show up usually within 2 days of the injury-event. Don’t wait – if you have pain longer than 4 days call us. These types of injuries will take a full 3 – 6 weeks to heal completely, and without expert help will frequently develop a gristly type of scar tissue which is prone to reinjury. Then, the injury will continue to heal and then tear again, prolonging the healing process and endangering recovery altogether! The fact is the sooner you get professional help the sooner you’ll be good as new.

Don’t wait, call us at 573.468.6011 – We can get you the relief you need.
