Pain and Inflammation Relief

According to one medical resource, there are 2,186 disease conditions that are characterized by pain. On the other hand, there are people who experience no pain whatsoever. Would you like to live a life without pain? Definitely not! Pain is the special communication from your body that tells you when something is wrong.

We should all know that pain is a message. Our brain tells us that something is so very wrong that our health and well-being are threatened.

Acute pain

We take our hand off of a literal hot stove because of what is called a withdrawal reflex. We will often withdraw our hand or foot from a painful experience even before we have fully defined what is hurting us. In acute (short-term) pain, removing the trigger is very important. Common triggers for acute pain are:

• Trauma
• Toxins
• Deficiencies
• Stress

Chronic pain

Some pain persists even when you "take your hand off the stove." This is called chronic (long-term) pain. For instance, chronic back pain and chronic headaches persist long after the trauma that caused them. Many times there is no specific trauma. The pain just starts and won't go away.

This happens because of the way our nerves are constructed. You see, nerves don't really feel pain; they merely sense stimulation. It is up to our brain to interpret the signal as pain. We have specific nerve fibers that a activate under specific conditions. One group of fibers may be triggered by a sharp jab, another group by dull pressure. One group may be triggered by heat and another by extreme cold. The nerves carry this specific message to our brain for interpretation. Our brain interprets the signal as painful. The volume of the signal helps us determine the intensity of the pain.

In chronic pain:
The signal goes from the nerve ending to the spine.
From the spine it travels to the brain for interpretation.
Then a signal goes back along that route: from brain to spine and from spine to nerve ending. This return message is supposed to shut off the pain signal when the irritation is gone.

In chronic pain, the return signal is not switched off. Instead, it is amplified.

Have you ever heard a microphone/speaker screech with feedback? This happens when the microphone is too close to the speaker or when it is directed in such a way that the microphone picks up the sound waves from the speaker and amplifies them. This amplified signal is played through the speaker again and picked up by the microphone again – where the signal repeats even louder. The result is the feedback screech that is definitely painful!

Your nerves can amplify pain signals. The signals don't even have to come from the nerve endings. Certain conditions may cause random signals to be amplified and pain may be projected to a perfectly healthy nerve ending. Remember, it is the interpretation of the intensity of this signal that we call pain.
