Inflammation occurs naturally in the body and is our first defense against injury and infection. But when do aches and pains mean something more?

Lauren Bessey, DO, family medicine doctor with Shawnee Mission Primary Care, will talk about the difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, which can be attributed to everything from arthritis to heart disease and even cancer. You’ll learn how to prevent inflammation and its progression, treatment options, the rewards and risks with exercise and the best inflammation-fighting foods.
