PY - 2016 T2 - Modalities for Therapeutic Intervention, 6e 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.
