Rest reduces inflammation and gives tissue time to calm down. It does not correct a joint that is out of alignment or a spinal segment that has lost its normal range of motion. Many athletes rest until the pain subsides and return to activity, only to find the same problem returning within weeks because the structural issue was never addressed.
Chiropractic care at Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic resolves the mechanical cause of the injury so the recovery holds up under load. That is the difference between time off and actual treatment.
