Pain is a very common experience. It’s a natural response that occurs when you are injured or sick. However, chronic pain is something different; it’s an ongoing condition that causes your body to be hypersensitive to stimuli and in a pain state. The human body is complex and multi-layered, which means there are many factors that contribute to chronic pain disorders.
Emotional And Physical Stress Can Cause Pain
Stress can also cause pain, and can do so in a number of ways. When you’re under stress your muscles, bones and nervous system tend to tighten up–this causes muscle strain and spasms that result in pain symptoms according to Dr Brian Blick.
Stress can be emotional or physical; it may be caused by something as simple as sitting too long at the computer or by an argument with your spouse. Stress is often linked to depression because people who suffer from chronic pain are more likely than others not only to experience depression but also have difficulty coping with their condition on their own without professional help from a doctor or therapist who specializes in treating patients with chronic conditions such as cancer or arthritis.
Chronic Pain Is The Result Of Bodily Damage
Chronic pain is the result of bodily damage or an ongoing condition that causes your brain to be hypersensitive and in a pain state. The body creates chemicals called neurotransmitters, which are released by nerve cells and send signals between them. Your nervous system uses these signals to communicate with other parts of the body, including those involved in feeling pain.
When you have chronic pain, these neurotransmitters increase their production over time because they have become hypersensitive to the signals coming from your damaged tissues or organs (e.g., joints). The more hypersensitive they become, the stronger their response will be–and this can lead to increased sensitivity even when there isn’t any physical damage happening! This creates a vicious cycle: more production leads to greater sensitivity; greater sensitivity causes even higher production; etcetera ad infinitum until things get really bad.
What Treatments Are Available For Chronic Pain?
When it comes to treating chronic pain, there are many options available. These include:
- Painkillers like ibuprofen, acetaminophen and tramadol can help manage your symptoms while you continue to live your life as normally as possible. However, these medications may not be effective in all cases of chronic pain and they also come with side effects such as nausea or stomach upset. If you’re thinking about taking over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for your chronic condition, talk to your doctor, like Dr Brian Blick so they can help determine whether over-the-counter treatments are right for you or if prescription medication would be more effective at managing your symptoms without causing additional harm.
- Physical therapy/acupuncture/massage therapy/relaxation techniques/cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)/mindfulness meditation/yoga/tai chi/chiropractic treatment: These methods have been shown through research studies involving thousands of patients that they can reduce symptoms associated with different types of chronic conditions including arthritis, back pain and fibromyalgia–even though scientists aren’t exactly sure why these therapies work so well!
Maumivu ni jambo la kawaida sana. Ni mwitikio wa kawaida unaotokea unapojeruhiwa au kuugua. Hata hivyo, maumivu ya kudumu ni kitu tofauti; ni hali ya kuendelea ambayo husababisha mwili wako kuwa hypersensitive kwa vichocheo na katika hali ya maumivu. Mwili wa binadamu ni tata na una tabaka nyingi, na hivyo kuna sababu nyingi zinazochangia matatizo ya maumivu ya muda mrefu. Mkazo wa kihisia na kimwili unaweza kusababisha maumivu Mkazo unaweza pia kusababisha maumivu, na unaweza kufanya hivyo kwa njia kadhaa. Wakati wewe ni chini ya mkazo misuli yako, mifupa na mfumo wa neva huwa na tighten up hii husababisha misuli mkazo na spasms kwamba kusababisha dalili za maumivu kulingana na Dk Brian Blick. Mkazo waweza kuwa wa kihisia au wa kimwili; waweza kusababishwa na jambo rahisi kama vile kukaa kwa muda mrefu sana kwenye kompyuta au kwa mabishano na mwenzi wako. Mkazo mara nyingi huhusianishwa na mshuko wa moyo kwa sababu watu wanaosumbuliwa na maumivu ya kudumu wana uwezekano mkubwa zaidi kuliko wengine sio tu wa kupata mshuko wa moyo lakini pia wana shida ya kukabiliana na hali yao peke yao bila msaada wa kitaalamu kutoka kwa daktari au mtaalamu wa matibabu ambaye ni mtaalamu katika kutibu wagonjwa wenye hali ya kudumu kama vile kansa au ugonjwa wa viungo. Maumivu ya muda mrefu ni matokeo ya uharibifu wa mwili au hali inayoendelea ambayo husababisha ubongo wako kuwa hypersensitive na katika hali ya maumivu. Mwili hutengeneza kemikali zinazoitwa neurotransmitters, ambazo hutolewa na chembe za neva na kutuma ishara kati yao. Mfumo wa neva hutumia ishara hizo kuwasiliana na sehemu nyingine za mwili, kutia ndani zile zinazohusika katika kuhisi maumivu. Wakati wa maumivu ya muda mrefu, neurotransmitters hizi huongeza uzalishaji wao kwa muda kwa sababu zimekuwa nyeti sana kwa ishara zinazotoka kwa tishu au viungo vyako vilivyoharibiwa (kwa mfano, viungo). Kadiri wanavyokuwa na hisia nyingi, ndivyo majibu yao yatakavyokuwa na nguvu zaidi - na hii inaweza kusababisha kuongezeka kwa hisia hata wakati hakuna uharibifu wowote wa kimwili unaotokea! Hii huunda mzunguko mbaya: uzalishaji zaidi husababisha unyeti mkubwa; unyeti mkubwa husababisha uzalishaji wa juu zaidi; na kadhalika ad infinitum hadi mambo yanapoenda vibaya sana. Kuna Matibabu Gani ya Maumivu ya Muda Mrefu? Kwa sababu ya maumivu ya kudumu, kuna njia nyingi za matibabu. Dawa za kupunguza maumivu kama vile ibuprofen, acetaminophen na tramadol zinaweza kusaidia kusimamia dalili zako wakati unaendelea kuishi maisha yako kwa kawaida iwezekanavyo. Hata hivyo, dawa hizi zinaweza kuwa na ufanisi katika visa vyote vya maumivu ya muda mrefu na pia kuja na athari za upande kama vile kichefuchefu au tumbo upset. Ikiwa unafikiria kuchukua dawa za over-the-counter (OTC) kwa hali yako ya muda mrefu, zungumza na daktari wako, kama Dk Brian Blick, ili waweze kukusaidia kuamua ikiwa matibabu ya over-the-counter ni sahihi kwako au ikiwa dawa za dawa zitakuwa na ufanisi zaidi katika kusimamia dalili zako bila kusababisha madhara zaidi. - Tiba ya kimwili / acupuncture / tiba ya massage / mbinu za kupumzika / tiba ya tabia ya utambuzi (CBT) / kutafakari kwa ufahamu / yoga / tai chichiropractic matibabu: Mbinu hizi zimeonyeshwa kupitia masomo ya utafiti yanayohusisha maelfu ya wagonjwa kwamba zinaweza kupunguza dalili zinazohusiana na aina tofauti za hali za muda mrefu ikiwa ni pamoja na arthritis, maumivu ya mgongo na fibromyalgia - ingawa wanasayansi hawajui haswa ni kwa nini tiba hizi zinafanya kazi vizuri!
