Understanding why you are still in pain
Understanding chronic pain and the cycles that can occur can play a huge role in recovery. Chronic pain, especially low back pain is very prevalent and increases as we age, especially those beyond 60years. Low back pain has a high prevalence with those who have a family history of back pain, as research is showing much more of a genetic component than originally thoughts. Chronic neck pain is more prevalent in men than women, despite women having a higher incidence of acute neck pain.
Pain is a response that occurs due to injury or illness, a warning signal that something is wrong, something needs to change or injury (further injury) could occur. Our bodies begin the healing response, sending histamines and blood flow to an area, almost as soon as the injury occurs. When the body heals, the tissues repair, the muscle spasms relieve, the bone is healed, the pain goes away. Yet not always.
