Pain's Purpose
Scientists have stated that the main purpose of pain is to safeguard us from potentially dangerous situations that could result in injury or illness. Pain signals from body tissue are transmitted via peripheral nerves to the spinal cord, which in turn relays information to the brain and initiates reflexes to remove the endangered body part from the source of danger. On the other hand, the secondary purpose of pain is to facilitate recovery from damage-causing pain. This is where the affected area becomes inflamed or infected. In the absence of physical danger, the relevant information is transmitted to the brain centres, which organise restorative behaviours that include cleaning the wound and disuse or defence of injured limbs.
Pain is a sensory and emotional issue
Pain is caused when nociceptors, nerve endings in the skin, detect damage and send signals to the brain. Pain can be acute, a sudden onset that’s typically short-lived and treatable through the source’s management, or chronic, persisting much longer and harder to treat. However, since we all have a different level of pain tolerance, it can be challenging for doctors to classify the intensity of one’s pain. Medical practitioners typically rely on quantitative scales in assessing pain severity, like those that range from 0 for no pain to 10 for the worst imaginable pain.
Managing Pain
If you're seeking ways to manage pain without medication, there are several physical methods you can consider, such as physiotherapy, hot and cold therapy, and massage. One alternative that is gaining recognition is PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy. Supported by an increasing body of research and numerous success stories, PEMF therapy offers a credible and modern solution for pain management. Unlike most medications that simply block pain, PEMF therapy addresses the underlying causes of the pain.
