Supportive care

Sometimes no specific treatment is available or needed. Thankfully, the human body has an amazing ability to heal and repair damage. We can support that by helping with good sleep, good nutrition, plenty of fluids, minimizing discomfort, etc. while the body does what it can to heal itself.
