Inflammation is part of your body’s natural defense system. But when inflammation lingers too long, it can cause pain, stiffness, and limit healing. If you’re searching for a natural, non-invasive way to support your body’s recovery, SoftWave Therapy at First Steps Chiropractic in Hayden, ID may be the answer.
Why Inflammation Sticks Around
Understanding Chronic Inflammation
Inflammation happens when your body tries to heal an injury or fight off harmful substances. However, sometimes inflammation continues even after the injury has healed. This can be caused by:
- Repetitive motion or overuse injuries
- Autoimmune conditions
- Poor circulation
- Lingering soft tissue damage
When inflammation sticks around, it slows recovery and keeps you in a pain cycle.
The Effects on Your Daily Life
Ongoing inflammation can cause:
- Persistent aches and pain
- Swelling and stiffness
- Reduced flexibility
- Fatigue and discomfort
Addressing inflammation is the first step toward lasting healing.

What to Expect During Treatment

Most patients experience noticeable relief after the first few sessions. A typical plan includes six to eight treatments.
Common Mistakes People Make When Dealing with Inflammation
Relying Only on Pain Medications
Medications may reduce discomfort temporarily but don’t address the root cause of inflammation.
Ignoring Early Signs
Delaying treatment can allow inflammation to become chronic and harder to resolve.
Over-Resting or Overworking
Too much rest can cause stiffness, while too much activity can worsen inflammation.
