What Happens When The Body Sustains An Injury

Immediately after an injury the body starts an organised and consistent process in an attempt to heal the damaged structures. There are 3 stages to the healing process.

1. Inflammation
2. Proliferation
3. Remodelling

The inflammatory phase may last anything up to 6 days. Signs of inflammation are heat, redness, pain and swelling.
