Abstract

In brief Inflammation is part of the body's Physiologic repair mechanism, but it doesn't always lead to healing. Optimal inflammation control typically involves a combination of suitable physical modalities and drug therapy. Although modalities such as ultrasound may have a role in managing inflammation, the standbys of ice, heat, and nonsteroidal drugs often work effectively.
