Antiinflammatory
Antiinflammatory is a medical activity which aims to reduce inflammation in the body, usually through the use of medications or other treatments. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, physical activity, and certain diseases. An effective anti-inflammatory treatment can help reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with inflammation, as well as improve the overall health of the patient. Common anti-inflammatory treatments include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as exercise, dietary changes, and stress management can also be beneficial in reducing inflammation.
