There are studies showing that anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and aspirin can increase the effectiveness of ADs. And a recent study found that ibuprofen expands the lifespan of nematodes by 15%.

But of course ibuprofen and aspirin can cause ulcers if used regularly. There are some very potent, safe (apparently) anti-inflammatories in the pipeline. One of them is NOSH-aspirin.
You asked about ways other than meds to reduce inflammation. MSM has helped my sciatica a lot. You might want to investigate earthing.
