Did you know that you already possess one of the most powerful weapons that exist to fight pain – any pain? Yes, you do! Curious to find out?
Physical therapists, physicians, chiropractors, and other licensed professionals who deal with people who are in pain can help by telling you what to do when you’re in pain. They can treat you with medicines, modalities (for example, ultrasound or electrical stimulation), adjustments, massages, needles, and/or various exercises. Most likely, you will get beneficial results from these various approaches. But how would you like to make sure to get the most out of any kind of treatment for your painful condition?
Fire up that wonderful brain of yours and learn some pain physiology! Over the last decade or so, some really exciting research has emerged about the brain’s role as one of the major players in the experience of pain. Clinicians and researchers like Lorimer Moseley, David Butler, Adriaan Louw and others have demonstrated that when a person learns about the physiology of pain – how pain works in the body – and combines that learning with movement therapies, he or she has better outcomes as far as pain relief, physical capacity, and improved quality of life are concerned.
Knowledge indeed is power. So do yourself a favor: Seek out a health care provider who is trained in modern pain science and have her help you understand these physiological concepts. Your brain is ready and your body will thank you!
Here is what one of my patients, JH, had to say after he learned some of the modern pain science facts. “I greatly appreciated the fact that I was trusted with knowledge and not expected to return often to the expert who held the secret to my recovery. Everyone needs to understand their bodies better, no matter how much a person knows, there is still more to marvel at and work towards improving. If you're hurt, you need help, and this is a great place to find the help you need.”
