If you’ve been dealing with pain and keep hoping it’ll “just go away,” you’re not alone. Most people try to push through — especially when life is busy. But here’s the truth:

✅ Some pain won’t fix itself — not because your body isn’t capable, but because the area needs the right support to heal properly.

Here are 3 signs your pain is not going away on its own, and what to do next.

1) Your pain has lasted longer than 2–3 weeks

Minor strains or flare-ups should start improving within a couple of weeks.

If your pain sticks around longer than that, it’s often because something deeper is going on, like:

• tendon irritation (common in elbows, shoulders, knees)

• fascia inflammation (like plantar fasciitis)

• compensation patterns that keep re-irritating the same area

  
  

When pain lingers, your body starts compensating, and that’s when the problem spreads into other areas.

2) You’re stiff in the morning or after sitting

If you wake up stiff, feel tight when you get out of the car, or struggle after sitting at a desk, it’s often a sign your body isn’t moving well.

Many people assume stiffness is just aging — but it’s usually a combination of:

• restricted joints

• tight soft tissue

• inflammation that’s “stuck”

  
  

3) The pain improves… but keeps coming back

This is one of the biggest signs you need a better plan.

If your pain goes away temporarily but returns with walking, workouts, sports, or even normal daily activity, it’s time to address the root cause — not just manage the symptoms.

This is especially common with:

• heel pain / plantar fasciitis

• tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow

• shoulder pain

• knee pain

• low back pain

  
  

Why combining Chiropractic + Shockwave works so well

At All For Your Health & Wellness, we love combining Chiropractic care + Shockwave therapy because they work beautifully together.

✅ Chiropractic helps restore joint motion, reduce nerve irritation, and improve alignment and movement patterns.

✅ Shockwave therapy helps stimulate circulation and healing in stubborn tissue — especially when the pain has been “stuck” for a long time.

And the best part: when you add Shockwave to your Chiropractic treatment, you save — because Shockwave is only $50 when combined. We see how powerful they are together, and we want to make it easy for patients to take advantage of both.

✅ Ready to feel better?

If your pain has lasted more than a few weeks, keeps coming back, or is limiting your activities, don’t wait for it to turn into your new normal.
