What Exactly is Pain?

Pain is your body’s way of protecting you—an alert system that says, “Something’s not right.” Your emotions, mindset, and surroundings shape it.

Not All Pain Feels the Same

  • Acute pain shows up suddenly—maybe after an injury or surgery—and usually goes away as you recover
  • Chronic pain sticks around for the long term due to arthritis, past injuries, or nerve issues
  • Nociceptive pain comes from damaged tissues, like the throbbing of a twisted ankle
  • Neuropathic pain comes from irritated nerves and often feels like zaps, tingling, or burning

How Pain Moves Through Your Body

Pain starts when tiny receptors in your body sense damage. These messages travel through your nerves, into your spinal cord, and up to your brain. Your brain processes the information and tells you how to respond—pulling away or reaching for ice.

Why Pain Feels Different for Everyone

Pain doesn’t happen in isolation. The biopsychosocial model looks at how your physical condition, emotional well-being, and life circumstances work together to influence how you feel pain. It depends on:

  • Biology, like your health, genetics, and injury history
  • Psychology, or how you cope, your mood, and even your past experiences
  • Your support system, work stress, and lifestyle
