Pain is a signal in your nervous system that something may be wrong. It is an unpleasant feeling, such as a prick, tingle, sting, burn, or ache. Pain may be sharp or dull. You may feel pain in one area of your body, or all over. There are two types: acute pain and chronic pain. While acute pain is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself, chronic pain is different. Chronic pain persists. Pain signals keep firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, even years. There may have been an initial mishap -- sprained back, serious infection, or there may be an ongoing cause of pain -- arthritis, cancer, ear infection, but some people suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of body damage. Many chronic pain conditions affect older adults. Common chronic pain complaints include headache, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, neurogenic pain (pain resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves or to the central nervous system itself), psychogenic pain (pain not due to past disease or injury or any visible sign of damage inside or outside the nervous system).Pain can affect quality of life and productivity, and people who have pain may also have difficulty moving around, trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, and other problems.
Unfortunately, common analgesic agents do not always fully relieve chronic pain. Integrating complementary therapies into a conventional medical plan can help ease chronic pain and reduce the need for medication.Naturopathy and yoga treatments utilize unique approaches and understanding in dealing with pain and correcting physical imbalances, and value long-term approaches rather than rapid remedies for managing chronic pain. These traditions also acknowledge the role of the mind and need for lifestyle and behavioural change in controlling pain. It is important to remember that relief of chronic pain rarely occurs overnight; the healing process takes time, commitmentby the individual experiencing the pain.
