Compensatory Mechanisms

Compensatory mechanisms are the body's natural processes that help maintain balance and function when something is not working properly. For example, if a part of the body is damaged or weakened, other parts may adapt to support or take over its role. This means the body adjusts its normal operations to accommodate changes, trying to keep everything functioning as best as possible. These mechanisms help prevent problems from becoming more serious and are vital for recovery and adapting to health challenges.
