Types of Pain (Mechanical, Neuropathic, Persistent) | Ep. 4

[@RehabScience]

In today's episode, I cover the three primary types of musculoskeletal pain, which include mechanical (nociceptive) pain, neuropathic (nerve) pain and chronic or persistent pain. Understanding what type of pain you have helps determine the best path forward in terms of which treatment options to pursue. In future episodes, I will dive deeper into specific treatment interventions for each type of pain. If you are suffering from pain or an injury, my book has comprehensive rehab programs for the 50 most common injuries and pain issues. Each program guides you through three phases of rehab and has pictures of me doing the exercises. The book is almost 500 pages in length and each body region has its own chapter. It is the type of reference that is intended to help you manage your own pains and injuries.

The clear distinction between the different types of pain our bodies can experience was very informative. I’ve experienced all 3 but the persistent pain is one that plagues me most still. It helpful to understand why.

[@RehabScience]

I’m glad the video was helpful! Sorry to hear you are struggling with chronic pain.

I’m so glad the episode was helpful! Thank you for the comment!

[@ralphg3676]

Doing great bro!

[@lesliethurston2151]

This is immensely helpful. Thank you. Any chance you would consider dedicating an entire episode to chronic pain unveiled? I had RSD in the distant past. Had a medical infusion to " rid" of it. Still, I never truly understood the cycle of it's development.

[@RehabScience]

So glad to hear the video was helpful! I will definitely plan to dedicate an episode or more to various chronic pain conditions.

Hey, guess what. I bought some dumbbells yesterday from goodwill! They are 8 lbs. I think. I know that is light to you, but not to me! Anyway, I'm eager to give them a goo.

[@RehabScience]

Awesome! So glad you are going to begin incorporating resistance training exercises!

[@zahrafarhang5105]

Hello Dr, very helpful thank for your good information ❤ from Iran🙏🏻🇮🇷

[@RehabScience]

You’re welcome!

[@deejohnson827]

This was informative! Question...where do trigger points fit into this topic? I've had hip pain/weakness for the last three months and a chiropractor told me it's related to trigger points (which are sore when pressed)?

[@RehabScience]

So glad this episode was helpful! Trigger points can actually be associated with all three types of pain as they are typically related to muscle guarding/spasming in response to the pain.

[@RUDEMASTER]

I was wondering if you can do one on hip replacement after you've had it ✔️

[@surinderchowdhury]

For chronic pain, I suggest meditation. That helped me a lot.

[@RehabScience]

Yes, I agree. Mediation can be a very powerful strategy when treating chronic pain.

[@b1acat]

tks for sharing, but what is "nerve irritation:? does it mean nerve inflammation or nerve pain?

[@RehabScience]

Mostly nerve pain. Inflammation is not always present.

[@b1acat]

@@RehabScience tks for reply, i am reading rehab science , truly a good book tks

[@RehabScience]

@@b1acat thank you for buying my book! I am so glad to hear you are enjoying it so far.

[@kimalonzo3363]

Carly Simon and I haven't got time for the pain. 🎶

[@RehabScience]

Haha!!

[@mengemulu99]

Dr Tom - pain specialist Is all patients come to see us because of pain?

[@RehabScience]

While most patients will come to the clinic because of pain, some will be interested in correcting impairments (lost mobility, strength, etc) or a functional limitation like difficulty climbing stairs, getting up and down from the floor or some other functional issue.
