Everyone experiences inflammation, and in most cases, that’s a good thing. Healing relies heavily on your immune system’s defense against infection, injury, and illness. This response to danger refers to acute inflammation, and often lasts a few hours or a few days. You may recognize this form of inflammation through signs like fever, swelling, or pain. Although it’s not a comfortable experience, it just means your body is working as it should.
Sadly, chronic inflammation is harmful as it continuously sends out inflammatory cells (cytokines) despite the lack of actual danger. When this happens, the cytokines become the danger themselves, and target nearly any part of your body. This can result in joint pain, weight gain or loss, and conditions like neuropathy, autoimmune diseases, and type 2 diabetes.
At Iowa Wellness Center, we know how to reduce inflammation in the body with a growing number of options for chronic inflammation treatment.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy delivers supercharged, medical-grade ozone, generated from pure oxygen, to enhance immune function and promote healing. We use this as a peripheral neuropathy treatment because it improves circulation and how our body uses nutrients.
Although it’s hard to determine what causes neuropathy and chronic inflammation, we know that poor circulation and nutritional deficiencies contribute. With its anti-inflammatory powers, this regenerative medicine treatment can improve your immune system’s function.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function within your body. This broad-spectrum light passes through your skin and reaches your cells to increase healing and energy. By improving cellular function, it can relieve pain, stimulate healing, and reduce inflammation.
Nutritional Counseling and IV Therapy
We can’t stress this enough: what you eat matters! Eating too much of the wrong food can increase your risk of chronic diseases and inflammation. UItra-processed foods like hot dogs, baked goods, and microwavable dinners should be avoided and replaced with an anti-inflammatory diet. Fruits, legumes, fiber, and seafood are just a few suggestions. During our nutritional counseling, we can help tailor a diet plan to your unique needs.
It’s hard to get all the necessary nutrients from your diet alone. If you need an extra boost of vitamins and minerals, we can help reduce inflammation with our 9 IV therapy infusions. IV Therapy bypasses the digestive system, sending these nutrients directly to your bloodstream for your cells to use quickly. Experience enhanced treatment effects and unparalleled well-being with just one IV therapy session.
