Inflammation and Pain

What is inflammation? We generally have two different inflammatory responses. Acute inflammation is a necessary (and helpful) short term immune system response to ward off “invaders” such as pathogens, bacteria, viruses, etc. Immune cells will rush to the site of injury or pathology to help heal and recover. This occurs with musculoskeletal injuries.
Chronic inflammation is long term, sustained inflammation in various systems of the body caused by repeated “hits” to the immune system such as poor diet, lack of sleep, sedentary lifestyle, and high stress levels. Chronic inflammation is the root of most diseases and health conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain, IBS, high blood pressure and even depression. Chronic Inflammation is typically the cause of pain.

“All acute and chronic disease states have pathophysiology that is multifactorial, but nearly all have an inflammatory component to them”

Generally our new patients or clients come to Pilates Sante with symptoms and pain due to excessive inflammation.  The inflammation of their condition prevents us from being able to effectively apply pilates therapeutic exercise to improve their condition. Therefore an immediate anti inflammatory regime is needed. This generally includes postural changes, ice, & oral medications such as NSAIDs.  

Many clients are allergic to NSAIDs or have been on them long term, and are not tolerating them.   It seems we have found the solution with Inflammatone.

This is a holistic anti-inflammatory supplement which consists of a protein enzyme blend which assists the breakdown of the inflammatory process. Many of our clients have experienced significant decrease in symptoms and increased tolerance for exercise, as well as daily activities.   
We also recommend changes in lifestyle such as diet & stress management. 
Please let us know of you have any questions about your level of inflammation , & whether you could benefit from an anti inflammatory regime.
