The Biggest Reason You Can't Find the Source of Your Pain
Here's what most people don't understand...
Pain doesn't come from your back, shoulder, knee, or neck.
Pain is created by your brain.
Your tissues send warning signals to your brain. Those signals are called "nociceptive" signals—they simply tell your brain that something might be wrong.
Your brain then decides:
"Is this enough of a threat to create pain?"
That decision is influenced by far more than an MRI or x-ray.
• Inflammation
• Stress
• Previous injuries
• Sleep
• Your nervous system
• Your brain's perception of threat
This is why two people can have the exact same MRI and completely different symptoms.
One has severe pain.The other has none.
The MRI explains what your tissues look like.
It does not explain why you hurt.
The takeaway...if you do PT or rehab or stretch and you don't feel better its because you didn't find the cause of the pain.
