Bone Injuries vs. Muscle Injuries?

Why might an injury to a bone have a faster recovery/healing time when compared to a muscle or nerve cell?

A good chiropractor can handle that a lot better than a general practicing MD. When you pull a muscle, not only does you muscle get strained but your bones and ligaments could go out of alignment. A lot of pain from muscle strain could be joint pain and not just the muscle. A good chiro will be able to assess the source of the pain and do the right adjustment. Sometimes some vitamins and minerals are prescribed to help rebuild the ligaments and tissues.

soft tissue always takes longer to heal . bones regrow as strong if not stronger because they use the same material, while soft tissue takes longer because the tissues scars
