People of all ages experience occasional aches and pains.  Studies of brain physiology have shown that sudden pain is an essential reaction of the nervous system. In fact, it helps the body to be alert for possible injury. Pain signals travel from the injured area, up to the spinal cord, then to the brain when an injury occurs in the body.

Pain will usually become less intense as the injured area heals. However, chronic pain is different from usual pain. With chronic pain, even after an injury heals, the body continues to send pain signals to your brain. Doctors often define chronic pain as any pain persists for several months or even longer. Chronic pain may limit a person’s movements, which can have real effects on day-to-day life and mental health.
