Inflammation

What We Do

  • Symptoms we manage are consistent with Inflammation. To define inflammation we use the ancient cardinal manifestations: Tumor (Swelling), Calor (warmth or heat), Dolor (Pain), Rubor (redness) and loss of function (functio laesa).

  • Now within each of these manifestations each individual experiences varying manifestations and degrees. To help us define your symptoms and find the best treatment plan for you we need your help to understand these in your experience.

  • We will ask you to journal your symptoms by the level of pain (adverse symptoms), quality, location, severity and timing. The start dates as best as you can recall will also be helpful as well as the concomitant triggers that worsen or help.With this information we can start to better understand your presentation and to narrow down a starting treatment regimen.

Some Presenting Symptoms

There are many manifestations of inflammation depending on the organ systems involved, genetics, treatment modalities and comorbid diseases. Here is a short list that sometimes gets lumped into other categories:

  • Headaches

  • Brain Fog

  • Muscle aches / weakness

  • Fatigue

  • Cough

  • Chest tightness

  • GI complaints like nausea

  • Joint pain

  • Hairloss/alopecia

  • Acne and Diarrhea

  • Bloating

  • Anxiousness & Some Forms of Depression

How We Help

We want to take a broad approach to include all the possible inflammatory symptoms and determine, can we tie it into one unifying diagnosis or segment it into other diagnoses to best fit your individual treatment plan. We sit with you once you fill out our questionnaires and review your presenting complaints and discuss with you differential diagnoses.

Once we come to some determination we then plan a workup based on these discussions to gather data for a better picture. Once we narrow down the potential causes we look for the best treatments based on one or a combination of modalities that will best suit you. This sometimes takes trial and error as everyone has different responses to different treatments. This is why follow up is essential to get it right. We want to partner with you to find the best fit for your health plan.
