Pain is an unpleasant physical and emotional feeling from actual or potential tissue damage.&nbsp; Many of&nbsp;you would agree pain is a nuisance, undesirable, and something to avoid.&nbsp; What you may forget are the benefits of having pain.&nbsp; Pain has a purpose \u2013 to warn&nbsp;you of injury.&nbsp; By being unpleasant, pain makes&nbsp;you think differently, behave differently, and move differently.&nbsp; It makes&nbsp;you react in ways that protect&nbsp;you when&nbsp;you are hurt or before&nbsp;you are hurt badly.&nbsp; Pain is unpleasant but it is a normal human experience and your body\u2019s way to warn&nbsp;you of danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Imagine\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The human body as a house and pain as a smoke alarm.&nbsp; If the alarm goes off, your natural reaction is to look for fire in the house.&nbsp; If the fire is small or there is little smoke, you may try to fight the fire.&nbsp; If the fire is big or there is lots of smoke, you will likely call for help.&nbsp; Like a smoke alarm, pain warns&nbsp;you of danger and makes&nbsp;you take action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tapmipain.ca\/module_02_section02.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>What is happening in the body?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scattered all over the body are millions of nociceptors (\u201cdanger\u201d sensors) that are constantly surveying its environment.&nbsp; These sensors are everywhere \u2013 in the nerves inside your skin, muscles, bones, and even your brain.&nbsp; Sensors can be specialized.&nbsp; Some react to temperature (feeling hot or cold), and others to stress chemicals (feeling anxious), immune chemicals (when you are sick), mechanical forces (pinching or pressure), or the slowing down of blood flow around your tissues.&nbsp; Nociceptors send signals that travel along the nerve fibers, up the spinal cord, and to the brain.&nbsp; The brain processes this information and sends messages back down the spinal cord and along the nerve fibers to tell the body what to do (or not do).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you step on glass, nociceptors in your foot detect the injury and send \u201cdanger\u201d signals to your brain.&nbsp; Your brain turns the pain alarm on and you feel pain.&nbsp; Pain protects you because the brain also sends messages to the body that make you pay attention to the injury, sit down and put less pressure on the foot, and remove the piece of glass that is causing harm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding nociceptors, nerve fibers, spinal cord, and brain are important but we now know that the pain experience is not this simple.&nbsp; Other activities such as inflammation&nbsp; (the body\u2019s normal response to injuries or infections) and neuropathy&nbsp; (nerve damage) also send alarm signals to the brain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pain is normal and an important part of the body\u2019s warning system.
