Pain Science Education.

• Pain Science • is a HUGE topic that can be approached in many ways, and you may have heard of the ‘alarm system’ that pain can trigger.

But it’s also a lot more than that! There are so many different components that play a role in our pain processing pathways.

Just a few of my favorite topics I’ll discuss with patients include:

🧠 Basic anatomy & physiology about how pain & other sensory receptors work

🖇️ What can happen when our different sensory “wires” get crossed

🧐 We can develop some nosy neighbors in other regions of the body

🫐 Factors like stress, sleep, nutrition, digestion & hormones all play a role in how intense the pain signals get

💅🏼Our body is super overprotective & a little sassy & we have to find the right combination of tools to get it to ditch the attitude

🔥 & very often the severity of chronic pain gives no real indication of physical structural issues within the body

Learning can actually help reduce pain! 🤓
