Anti-inflammatory therapies
Anti-inflammatory therapies are treatments designed to reduce inflammation, which is the body's response to injury or irritation. While inflammation helps heal, excessive or chronic inflammation can cause pain and tissue damage, as seen in conditions like arthritis or allergies. These therapies include medications such as NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), corticosteroids, and biological agents that suppress or modulate the immune response. They aim to alleviate symptoms, prevent tissue damage, and improve quality of life by controlling the underlying inflammation. Proper use and guidance from healthcare providers are important to effectively manage inflammation and minimize potential side effects.
