What can increase my risk for unhealthy inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multifactorial cause: Inflammation is a multifactorial consequence of hormonal, immune system and nervous system dysfunction resulting from genetic predispositions and dietary and environmental insults. These factors impact your immune system and can lead to pain and inflammation. You need to work with an experienced doctor to fix all of these metabolic problems.
