Chronic pain
It is a pain that stays for a longer period
even after the healing process. The time period could be from several
months to years depending upon the severity of the pain. This pain is
progressive in nature which increases over the period of time.
Sometimes, it is difficult to determine the cause of chronic back pain.
Chronic pain is different from acute pain as the pain persists and keep
firing in the nervous system for weeks, months and even years.
Normally the cause of back pain starts with a sprained back, an
infection, arthritis, or cancer but sometimes chronic pain is not caused
due to any injury or body damage. People with chronic pain often
complain about low back pain, headache, arthritis pain, cancer pain,
neurogenic pain and psychogenic pain.
It is important to cure chronic
pain, as it can take the form of a deadly disease, by employing various
treatments like acupuncture, medications, electrical stimulation,
surgery and few more. Psychotherapy, relaxation and medication therapies
also help in curing chronic pain.
These are the two basic types
of back pain which are most widely known. Know the cause and symptoms of
each type to chalk out a better treatment for yourself. Various
treatments are known today for both the types of back pain. Consult your
doctor to find the best one for you.
