Frequently asked questions
What causes inflammation?
Inflammation can be a normal short-term response to injury or infection, or a sign of a chronic condition like arthritis or an autoimmune disease — your clinician reviews your specific symptoms to help sort out which. Diet, stress, and lifestyle factors can also influence how much inflammation your body carries.
When does inflammation need urgent attention?
Rapidly spreading redness, fever, or a hot, significantly swollen joint need prompt evaluation rather than a routine visit, since these can signal an infection. These signs need prompt evaluation rather than waiting to see if they improve.
Will I need labs to find the cause?
Your clinician may recommend labs — such as inflammatory markers or an autoimmune panel — depending on your symptoms, how long they've lasted, and your history. These results can help confirm whether an autoimmune or infectious cause is involved.
How is chronic inflammation different from a normal healing response?
Normal inflammation resolves as healing progresses, while chronic inflammation persists or recurs without a clear injury — your clinician can help distinguish the two. Your clinician will consider how long your specific symptoms have been present to help sort this out.
What side effects are associated with anti-inflammatory treatments?
Options like NSAIDs can affect the stomach and kidneys with prolonged use; your clinician will review what fits your history. Your clinician will weigh these risks against how much relief you're getting from treatment.
