A.R.I.S.E.

Remember, only the bones of the spine stand between the nerves that relay messages back and forth between the brain and body. If these bones are out of place, our nervous system must try to overcome the interference and hence must work much harder at healing. Hence, the use of chiropractic to allow for an interference free nervous system is the first line of defense against injury.

• A. Analgesics (*Wobenzym-N, Tylenol, Advil, Aspirin, etc.) to reduce pain and swelling.
• R. Rest the injured tissue or body part as directed.
• I. Ice is administered to the injured area (see “Ice sheet” for further information).
• S. Stretching of injury as directed (see “Stretch Sheet” for further information)/
• E. Elevation of injury, preferably above the level of the heart.

Wobenzym-N is a nutritional aid (rather than a medication) which helps support normal levels of inflammation. This supplement contains ingredients already present in our bodies that assist in natural healing. ( i.e. trypsin and hymotrypsin)
