Pain and inflammation often go hand in hand. And most adults have, in fact, had inflammation on one or many occasions in life.
Inflammation may come from various things and typically resolves over time or with subtle treatments.
Other times, though, that is not the case and inflammation persists. This is chronic inflammation.

What is chronic inflammation?
Being in pain often is a result of inflammation and inflammation can cause pain in nearly any area of the body.
Chronic inflammation is defined at a slow and long-term inflammation that lasts months to years.
Truth be told, inflammation is your body’s defensive mechanism against infection and tissue that is damaged. Inflammation works to alert your immune system to work on the issue at hand.
Arthritis, diabetes, injuries, allergies and other diseases can cause inflammation. And if it lasts for three months or longer, it is considered chronic inflammation.
Signs of chronic inflammation can include chronic fatigue or insomnia, repeated illness or infections, moodiness or depression, muscle fatigue, balance issues, dry eyes, constipation or diarrhea and much more.
However, there are ways to treat inflammation and regain your quality of life.
