What is Pain?
Pain is an unpleasant sensation in the body
that is triggered by the nervous system. The onset of pain can
occur suddenly or slowly, depending on many factors, (e.g.
environmental, biological, emotional, cognitive, etc.) Each
individual is the best judge of the severity and frequency of
his or her pain.
Acute Pain vs. Chronic Pain
There are generally two classes of pain:
acute pain and chronic pain.
Acute pain results from an illness or event,
such as injury or surgery. It generally occurs suddenly, then
gradually diminishes or stops on its own or with medical
treatment. Acute pain can range from mild to severe, and may
last for weeks or months. If treated properly, acute pain will
subside within six months. If left untreated, acute pain may
lead to chronic pain.
Chronic pain is pain that persists over time
and may have no apparent cause, even after an injury has healed
or an illness has subsided. Chronic pain can persist for weeks
or even years, and may be unresponsive to medical treatment.
Sufferers of chronic pain may find it debilitating, resulting in
loss of sleep and inability to function normally.
How common is back pain?
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, back pain is second only to headache as the most
common medical complaint in the United States, and is the second
leading cause of missed workdays. Each year, 80% of adults below
age 50 experience back pain at least once, and the majority will
have multiple occurrences. Back injury is the number one
occupational hazard in the U.S.
