Why Some Injuries Heal — And Others Don’t
Most people expect injuries to heal with time.
You rest.
You stretch.
You ice.
You wait.
And sometimes, that works.
But many people experience something very different. An injury that should have healed lingers. Pain improves a little, then returns. Progress feels inconsistent. Eventually, the injury becomes something you “manage” rather than something that resolves.
This isn’t because your body forgot how to heal.
It’s usually because the healing process never fully completed.
At Impact Laser Mobility & Recovery, we often describe this as the chronic injury loop — a cycle the body gets stuck in when the environment for healing isn’t quite right.
Your Body’s Healing Engine:
Healing From the Inside Out (In a Very Real Way)
When we talk about healing from the inside out, we are not speaking metaphorically. We mean supporting the actual biological systems — especially energy production — that make healing possible.
Better energy supports better repair.
Better repair supports better movement.
Better movement supports a better life.
Understanding this helps people stop blaming their bodies and start working with them instead.
The Cellular Model of Pain & Healing:
Chronic pain doesn’t usually start where you feel it. It often begins at the cellular level — where energy production, inflammation control, blood flow, and tissue repair all take place. In this article, we explain the cellular model of healing and why supporting your body from the inside out is key to resolving long-standing pain and restoring normal recovery.
