No Brain, No Pain.. What does that even mean??? Well, it's ultimately your brain that tells you that you have pain. Your tissues, regardless of their health, provides information. Your spinal cord and your brain take in the information and the output is pain if the brain perceives a threat. Anytime a threat is perceived, your brain is trying to protect you. That's ultimately why pain is a good thing, it keeps us safe. So, if it's my brain, does that mean it's not real? Pain is real, 100% of the time. It just doesn't correspond directly to the level of tissue damage. You can have severe arthritis on a x-ray and feel no pain. You can have a clean x-ray and be in pain. And then there are times where pain definitely makes sense with what the tissues are saying. Pain is your brain telling your body to change what you're doing. Most of the time, it means you need to move. Movement is the medicine. - And so says one of our Physio's all the time - Well said Adam.
