How Inflammation Causes Pain
Inflammation is a natural part of the body’s response to injury and infection. When the body becomes inflamed, several different chemical substances are released by the body. These include the tissue hormones bradykinin and histamine, which, when released, cause the narrow blood vessels in the tissue to expand, allowing more blood to reach the injured tissue. For this reason, the inflamed area turns red and become hot. Both bradykinin and histamine tend to irritate the nerves causing pain signals to be sent to the brain. However, these pain signals are not always bad for they draw our attention to the injured area allowing us to pamper a wounded area that is trying to heal.Suggestions to Reduce Inflammation
