Our bodies are equipped with a built in alarm system called the nervous system. This system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord and millions of nerves all around your body. Specialist nerves allow you to perceive touch temperature, taste, sight and sounds. Some nerves send signals associated with light touch while others respond to deep pressure. This is how your body can tell whether you've stepped on something soft or something sharp, whether there's an injury or even a potential injury. Special pain receptors called knows receptors activate in an instant. They send signals to the spinal cord and then up to the brain for processing if your brain decides your body needs protection, it creates the feeling of pain ringing the alarm bells that cause your body to react pulling your foot away from the rock to prevent further injury. This alarm system is similar for everyone, but the sensitivity of the system varies across individuals. What may be painful for one person can be only slightly uncomfortable to another. This is because pain is more than just cause and effect. It's affected by everything else going on in the nervous system. Your stress levels, physical health genetics, memories of past painful experiences and coping strategies can all shape the way you feel pain. Understanding how physical pain works and recognizing any personal factors that contribute to your relationship with pain is the first step in figuring out which pain management strategies will work best for you.
