What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is a natural part of your body’s healing process—an immune response to injury, illness, or ongoing stress. But when it becomes chronic, it can quietly impact your joints, muscles, and energy levels, leading to symptoms that persist or worsen over time.
At Regen II in New Carrollton, MD, we recognize that long-term inflammation is more than just discomfort—it’s often linked to deeper issues in the body that require focused attention. Whether it’s the result of old injuries, lifestyle habits, or underlying imbalances, chronic inflammation can affect how you move, feel, and function each day.
If you’ve been living with persistent swelling, stiffness, or unexplained pain, it may be time to schedule a visit and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Common Causes of Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation rarely stems from a single issue. Instead, it tends to build over time due to a combination of physical, environmental, and metabolic stressors that place pressure on your body’s ability to self-regulate.
Some of the most common causes we look for during your assessment include:
Lack of Physical Activity
When movement is limited, circulation slows, and your joints and muscles don’t get the support they need. Over time, this can contribute to stiffness, fatigue, and inflammatory symptoms throughout the body.
Chronic Stress
Ongoing emotional or physical stress can overstimulate your immune system and keep your body in a prolonged state of inflammation—especially when left unaddressed.
Disrupted Sleep
Poor sleep habits or irregular sleep cycles can interfere with the body’s repair processes, making it harder to calm inflammation and feel restored day to day.
Obesity
Excess weight—particularly around the abdomen and hips—can increase inflammatory markers and worsen joint pain, mobility issues, and energy levels.
Toxin Exposure
Long-term exposure to pollutants, mold, or other toxins may place added strain on your detoxification systems, contributing to ongoing inflammation and discomfort.
Unresolved Infections or Injuries
Old injuries or lingering infections are common in patients with chronic pain. If not properly treated, these issues may continue to trigger an inflammatory response in specific areas like the legs, joints, or spine.
What symptoms Does Chronic Inflammation Cause?
Chronic inflammation can be difficult to detect at first—but over time, it often leads to symptoms that interfere with how your body feels and functions. Because it can affect multiple systems at once, symptoms may vary from person to person.
Some of the most common signs we look for during your visit include:
- Ongoing joint pain or stiffness, especially in the knees, shoulders, or hips.
- Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest.
- Muscle aches or a general feeling of discomfort throughout the body.
- Swelling or tenderness in specific areas.
- Digestive issues, including bloating or irregular bowel movements.
- Skin flare-ups, such as rashes or irritation.
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating.
- Mood changes, such as increased irritability or low motivation.
- Poor sleep quality or trouble staying asleep.
- Slow recovery from minor injuries or infections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is chronic inflammation?
Chronic inflammation is a long-term immune response that can gradually affect joints, muscles, and other parts of the body. Unlike a short-term reaction to injury, it doesn’t return to normal on its own—and over time, it may contribute to pain, stiffness, or fatigue. At Regen II, we check for underlying causes that may be keeping your body in a persistent inflammatory state.
What are the symptoms of chronic inflammation?
Symptoms can vary, but many patients report ongoing fatigue, joint discomfort, brain fog, or digestive issues. These signs often appear slowly, making it important to pay attention to the small things—like changes in how you feel after rest or activity. If your body no longer feels like it’s operating at its normal level, inflammation may be involved.
Can you cure chronic inflammation?
While there isn’t a single cure, chronic inflammation can often be managed effectively. At Regen II, we use advanced regenerative treatments to reduce inflammation and support the body’s healing process. Our goal is to check what’s triggering the issue and help you return to a more balanced, functional state.
What is the number one food that kills inflammation?
There’s no magic food that eliminates inflammation, but anti-inflammatory choices like leafy greens, omega-3s, and turmeric can help. We also look at how certain foods may affect your body and recommend changes based on your individual needs. Sometimes the smallest things—like cutting back processed sugar—can make a noticeable difference.
