Chronic inflammation is related to a host of ailments, these are not limited to: obesity, cancer, arthritis, Parkinson’s, etc. In other words, chronic inflammation can have serious complications to your long term health.
In the world of medicine, any chronic or degenerative illness and aging stems from chronic inflammation.
The good news is, if you have been diagnosed with chronic inflammation, we here at Austin Active Life know how to relieve your pain and get you back to a life without inflammation.
Some Symptoms of Chronic Inflammation are:
What exactly is chronic inflammation anyway? Simply put, when we encounter a trauma, or infection, our body puts out a response to correct the damage. When this works the way it is supposed to, pro-inflammatory compounds are released and then shut off once the injury has been taken care of.
Sometimes though, this response just doesn’t quit even when all is well elsewhere. This causes a surplus of cells that keep circulating in our systems causing such things as tissue damage, even gluten intolerance. To back up even further, chronic inflammation originates from an imbalanced immune system in the person suffering.
This is just a simple explanation of a complicated situation. Fortunately, at Austin Active Life we have treated cases of chronic inflammation many times over and are very well versed in the cause and treatment. One treatment we offer is the Graston Technique to treat chronic inflammation.
The Graston Technique treats acute and soft tissue injuries. It is an instrument that mobilizes soft tissue and enables scar tissue to be broken down as well as fascial restrictions. The technique uses a specially designed stainless steel instrument that specifically detects and effectively treats areas of chronic inflammation.
