About Inflammation

Inflammation is not a medical procedure but a fundamental biological response of the body's immune system to injury, infection, or harmful stimuli. An Internal Medicine specialist manages inflammation by diagnosing its underlying cause, which can range from infections and autoimmune diseases to chronic conditions like arthritis, and implementing a targeted treatment plan. This involves a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests like blood work or imaging. Treatment focuses on reducing the inflammatory response to alleviate symptoms, prevent tissue damage, and address the root cause, utilizing approaches such as medication, lifestyle modifications, or managing coexisting conditions.
