What is the pain mechanism?

Have you ever wondered how pain travels through the body?
Let’s enlighten you on this part to understand how your body can notice pain in a certain part of the body like skin, ligaments, joints, muscle, bones (nociceptive pain), injured tissue (inflammatory pain), nerves (neuropathic pain), internal organs (visceral pain), or a combination of these types of pain (mixed pain).
Pain signals go from the painful body part along with nerve fibers which go from the spinal cord and then reach the brain. In case, the brain or spinal cord is damaged then you will notice pain right away starting on its own.
Normally, pain signals reach the spinal cord and then go to the brain which has links with different connections like anxiety, appetite, emotions, sleep, and memory. So, every person experiences pain differently.
Later, the brain sends signals to the spinal cord which can result in pain getting increased or decreased. Cells present in the spinal cord and brain might get over-sensitive which makes you experience constant pain. In medical terms, it is known as wind-up and this is the reason pain management treatment is needed.
