Article by Laramie Jackson Owner/Manager at FortitudeEquine.com
First, we should probably break down exactly what inflammation is to better
understand its effects on the body. According to the American Heritage Dictionary,
inflammation is a localized protective reaction of tissue to irritation, injury, or infection, characterized by pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes loss of function.
And it can happen anywhere in the body. Not all inflammation is bad because it protects vulnerable areas, but knowing what causes bad vs. good inflammation can
be a game changer when it comes to maintaining a strong & healthy performance horse.
