3Various Types Of Pain
Pain can have many sources. Pain is majorly
divided into nociceptive pain and neuropathic
pain. The treatment of pain depends largely upon
what type of pain it is, such as Nociceptive
pain This includes a cut or a broken bone such
as tissue damage or injury initiates signals that
are transferred through peripheral nerves to the
brain via the spinal cord. Pain signals are
modulated throughout the pathways indicating that
something is hurting. Radicular pain This stems
from irritation of the nerve roots, like from a
disc herniation. The pain would radiate down the
leg or arm in the distribution of the nerve that
exits from the nerve root at the spinal cord.
This also includes radiculopathy, which is
weakness, numbness, tingling, or loss of reflexes
in the distribution of the nerve. Somatic pain
This type of pain is limited to the back or
thighs. The reason for most back pain is not
identified and is classified as idiopathic. The
back pain can be the result of the issue with
three structures - the facet joints, the discs,
and the sacroiliac joint.

controlled or you are not sure how to cope with
