Understanding How Pain Works

Pain is your body’s built-in warning system—an essential signal that something may be wrong. It's not just physical; pain also has emotional and psychological components that influence how you experience it.

Types of Pain

  • Acute pain is temporary and typically caused by an injury or surgery. It fades as the body heals, like after a sprained ankle or surgical procedure.
  • Chronic pain lingers past normal recovery time and can last for months or years. It may be linked to conditions such as arthritis or nerve injury.
  • Nociceptive pain results from tissue damage and feels sharp, throbbing, or achy, like a cut or a bruise.
  • Neuropathic pain is caused by nerve dysfunction and may feel like burning, tingling, or shooting sensations.

How Your Nervous System Processes Pain

When your body senses injury, pain signals begin at specialized nerve endings (nociceptors). These signals travel from peripheral nerves to your spinal cord and ultimately to your brain, where they are interpreted and felt. The brain then decides how to respond, engaging both instinctive and emotional reactions.

The Whole-Person Approach to Pain

Pain is complex, and the biopsychosocial model helps us understand it by looking at the whole picture. This approach considers biological, psychological, and social influences to give a complete view of your pain experience. For instance:

  • Biological elements, like injury or illness, affect how pain begins
  • Psychological factors—such as mood, mindset, and stress—can make pain feel more or less intense
  • Social influences, including relationships and workplace conditions, can either support healing or compound discomfort
