Pain is the body’s way of protecting you from injury or alternatively can occur when you are seriously injured. Your brain and nerves work in tandem to tell you there’s a problem and you respond accordingly. There are different types of pain including Acute short term pain you experience when you cut your finger for example, pain and discomfort associated when you are sick and then there is Chronic Pain or Persistent Pain. A pain that won’t go away for an extended period of time and can interrupt your daily life.
Chronic Pain can eventuate from an injury due to an accident, health conditions that attack the Central Nervous System, such as Lymes Disease but in some cases there is no physical reason for the pain. Chronic Pain can be caused by an overstimulated Central Nervous System or over active pain receptors in the brain which means surgery is not a solution.
As well as being a physical sensation, chronic pain comprises psychological and emotional factors and can be difficult to identify the root cause. Chronic pain can affect any part of the body and can feel unrelenting, impacting sleeping, social or professional interaction, or an overall sense of wellbeing.
