Inflammation is a defence mechanism in the body that is a vital part of the immune system’s response to injury and infection. The immune system heals and repairs damaged tissue as well as protects the body against foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria.
When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body’s white blood cells are released into the blood or affected tissues to protect your body from foreign substances.
This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection, and may result in redness and warmth.
Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This protective process may stimulate nerves and cause pain.
The increased number of cells and inflammatory substances within the joint causes irritation, swelling of the joint lining and, eventually, wearing down of cartilage.
There are many medications to treat inflammation, the most common ones being the over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, and ibuprofen.
Not only do these medications have serious negative side effects in the stomach and intestinal tract, but NSAIDs may actually accelerate the progression of joint destruction.
