Inflammatory Disorders

Inflammatory disorders involve the body's immune system mistakenly attacking its own tissues, leading to inflammation, which is a protective response intended to heal. When inflammation becomes chronic or uncontrolled, it can cause tissue damage and contribute to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or psoriasis. These disorders can result in symptoms such as pain, swelling, redness, fatigue, and sometimes fever. The exact cause varies and may involve genetic, environmental, or immune system factors. Treatment typically focuses on reducing inflammation and managing symptoms with medications, lifestyle changes, or therapy to improve quality of life.
