Inflammation Treatment

Inflammation treatment aims to reduce the body's immune response when it causes pain, swelling, or tissue damage. Common approaches include medications like anti-inflammatories (e.g., ibuprofen or corticosteroids) that decrease swelling and pain. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) can help manage localized inflammation. In some cases, lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, support overall health and reduce chronic inflammation. For ongoing or severe cases, healthcare providers may explore specific therapies or address underlying causes, such as infections or autoimmune conditions, to effectively control inflammation and promote healing.
