In medicine, a distinction is generally between acute and
chronic pain. Acute pain occurs when tissue is damaged. Hold only a certain
Time and signal and protective pain - a warning sign of physical
disturbance, which is reported to the brain.
Chronic pain, however, have
been replaced by the original function and exist independently. Sometimes,
chronic pain no longer relate to the underlying disease.
The most common
forms of chronic pain are back pain, headache, rheumatic pain, neural, pain,
cancer pain and degenerative. Causes may occur, for example, nerve injury,
muscle tension, viruses, stress or psychological factors in question.
Experts estimate that at least eight million people suffer from severe
chronic pain in Germany. Medical specialists such as pain therapists, with their
Expertise to the various pain disorders help those people specifically.
