The International Association for the Study of Pain states that pain is “An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.”
Few people understand that there is no specific nerve receptor in your body that transmits a “Pain” signal. Our bodies have multiple types of nerve receptors that send info to our brain (for example; what is Light, Sound, Smell and Touch) but pain is not perceived by nerve receptors. Pain is perceived when your emotional brain tells you that it is pain. At Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center, we understand the complex relationship between the brain and pain.
