recover faster from injuries at well adjusted buckhead in atlanta

If you’re an athlete or workout enthusiast, you’ve likely experienced Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). This common post-exercise soreness peaks 2-4 days after intense workouts and is often mistakenly attributed to lactic acid buildup. However, DOMS is actually caused by muscle inflammation and micro-tears.

Here’s how your body recovers, and ways to speed up healing:

1. Move – Gentle cardio, like walking, helps flush out excess fluids from muscle tissue.

2. Therapy – Soft tissue therapies like dynamic cupping, massage, or vibration therapy reduce pain.

3. Hydrate – Keeping muscles hydrated accelerates healing.
