Pain Knowledge 2 explores what happens physiologically (the changes to our cells and tissues) to our nervous system (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) when pain persists – known as sensitisation.
Although persistent pain refers to pain that has lasted for longer than 3 months, the changes of sensitisation that can occur to your nervous system and contribute to persistent pain can start immediately after an injury and progress as pain persists.
Trish has persistent back and thigh pain is an educational quiz to explain the importance of the changes that can contribute to persistent pain.
Pain desensitisation will give you an overview on how to treat sensitisation and direct you to the treatment programs.
