On Inflammation with Dr. Harrington

Thank you to Organic Radiance Skincare for interviewing me on Inflammation.  Chronic inflammation, not acute, is something that we should be concerned about, and something we can make small changes in our lives to try to avoid.  What changes you may ask?  Check out the interview to find out!


Here's what Candice at Organic Radiance had to say about it: (original blog post here)

"This interview will give you an understanding of what chronic inflammation is, why we need to be concerned with it, and what we can do about it.

 We talk about chronic inflammation with Dr. MaryAnne Harrington, one of the doctors at Maximum Performance Chiropractic in Costa Mesa, CA. MaryAnne specializes in the treatment and rehabilitation of injuries using conservative and natural therapies. She holds a number of certifications, including Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) nutritional counseling, work ergonomics and wellness, as well as being a yoga instructor.

"We need inflammation. However, what we don’t want is chronic inflammation.  Chronic inflammation is something that lasts for several months or even years.  It can come from many different sources, like failure to get rid of what was causing the inflammation in the first place or a chronic irritant of low intensity.  Chronic inflammation can also come from an autoimmune response due to a self antigen, meaning that the immune system is reacting to something that is in the body that it things is a foreign object. So that is the type of inflammation that we want to be mindful with."

  1. It is quite a fascinating post and being a medical student what i have learned about inflammation is, that is an increased blood flow to a certain part of the body which causes swallowing and it is not treated properly so it can last for several days months which leads to severity. Only a doctor or a chiropractor knows better that how to reduce the inflammation to its normal level.

  2. Technology is growing on fast track but a lot of renowned scientists still want to be in the safer side and go for Amazing Massage near Collary as this is side effects free and takes less time, gives faster resolution of symptoms pains and inflammation. I recommend all the people that they once in their lives must experience the benefits of Physiotherapy and tell others as well so that more and more people are benefited.

  3. One of my aunt is suffering from the same problem as you told in the post and she gets her knees and joint swelled. we have been giving her anti-inflammatory and pain killers for the last 5 years but they were of temporary use. Now a week ago, one of my friend told me about osteopath canberra where relief is provided to us without any side effects. I took her there and amazed to see the effect of osteopathy that she has not been in pain for last 1 week since we visited the clinic.
