Pain Science

Pain science explores how pain is not just a direct response to injury but a complex experience influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. Our brains interpret signals from the body and can amplify or dampen the sensation of pain based on context, emotions, beliefs, and previous experiences. This means that two people with the same injury may experience different levels of pain. Understanding pain in this way can help improve treatment approaches, emphasizing the role of mental and emotional health in managing pain effectively.
