Inflammation is a broad term that applies to your body’s response to things that harm it. When you have an infection, cut, injury, or toxin in your body, it will attempt to heal the damaged tissue by releasing chemicals from your immune system as well as releasing antibodies and proteins. You will also have increased blood flow to the part of your body that is injured, creating swelling. These processes are what cause inflammation throughout your body and can lead to swelling, bruising, and pain.

Acute inflammation is a sudden onset of symptoms after an injury when your body starts the healing process. Symptoms include pain, redness, swelling, and heat around the affected area.

Chronic inflammation is a persistent condition where your body continually sends out an inflammatory response even if your cells aren’t in immediate danger. The side effects like pain and swelling can be constant or come in the form of flare ups.

• Body pain
• Depression and anxiety
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Joint pain
• Stomach upset
• Weight fluctuations
• Limited mobility
• Persistent infections
• Mouth sores
• Rashes

Treating Inflammation
The most common treatment for inflammation is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as NSAIDS. Anti-inflammatories are medications that fight against the symptoms caused by your immune system’s response to injury. These medications are not habit forming and have a wide range of benefits like reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation.

Many pain-relieving medications are also available in topical form so you can apply the medication directly to the affected area for targeted relief.

• Ibuprofen is the most common NSAID and is available over the counter at many pharmacies, supermarkets, and high street stores. It is an everyday painkiller for aches, pains, inflammation, and joint pain.
• Naproxen is an NSAID available on prescription that reduces pain and swelling in joints and muscles.
• Preservex (aceclofenac) eases joint and muscle pains and can be used for arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
• Arthrotec is an all-in-one pain reliever for inflammation, pain, swelling, flushing of the skin, and fever.
• Celecoxib is an NSAID that reduces the symptoms caused by inflammatory diseases like acute pain and rheumatoid arthritis.

Potential side effects of NSAIDs include stomach upset, ulcers, hypertension, and an increased risk of stroke and bleeding.

How Else to Control Inflammation?
NSAIDs shouldn’t be taken on a long-term basis so you should try ways other than medications to treat your inflammation wherever possible.

You can try the R.I.C.E. Method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to get relief from both acute and chronic inflammation. Rest is very important when it comes to recovering from inflammation or an injury. It’s not always easy to give yourself a break in this busy world of ours, but you should try to rest as much as you can to give your body a chance to heal. Ice is a cheap and easy way to get relief from swelling and pain, but be sure to put something like a clean tea towel between the ice and your skin. Wearing braces and wraps can provide relieving compression to the area that is giving you problems and they are available in most pharmacies and high street shops.

Finally, elevation prevents too much blood flow from reaching the injured area, stopping swelling and the associated pain and discomfort swelling often causes.
