PY - 2022 T2 - Michlovitz’s Modalities for Therapeutic Intervention, 7e AB - Understanding the normal healing process will facilitate proper use of a given modality. There are three basic phases of wound healing: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The inflammatory response is the body’s nonspecific defense mechanism and begins almost immediately following injury. Inflammation can be triggered by a variety of causes, including trauma, disease, invading pathogens, or allergic reactions. Acute inflammation is characterized by varying degrees of redness, warmth, pain, swelling, and loss of function. SN - PB - F. A.
