What is Pain and how do we describe it?

As a therapist I often have to ask patients to be more specific about the pain they report. Some times this request can appear to mystify the patient; they are unused to the idea that pain itself is a diagnostic tool.

The nature of pain.

Pain can be an indicator of damage being done. Pain can be the mind not wanting the body to do something. Pain can be memories of past events. Pain can be sharp, dull, chronic, burning, sudden or pulsating. Pain can be a warning of future damage or a message saying damage has been done. Pain can be an indication of degeneration in tissue, or of biological breakdown. Information about the pain is as important as the location of the pain.

Information is gathered by sense organs; skin, tongue, nose, eyes and ears and transmitted to the brain via the nervous system which sends messages at speeds up to 300Km per hour and is the body’s communication network. The brain registers the information and “grades” it, pleasure, hot, cold or pain. The brain also decides what type of pain.

Information moves along the nervous system by electricity, or at least by electrical charge difference.

Pain from internal organs and or from joints ligaments etc is also transmitted via the nerves to the brain. The brain can be fooled as to the actual site of any damage. The most common situation where this happens is sciatica. The damage is in the lumbar region of the spine but the pain is felt further down. Depending on which lumbar vertebrae are involved, the pain is felt in the thighs or down to the knee or down to the toes. Most people will have heard of, if not actually experienced “referred pain”, which is when damage in one location causes pain to be felt in another. Sometimes this is due to the physically altering of posture. A damaged left knee will cause a person to walk in such a way as to take the load off that left knee but this puts extra load on the right leg and this can cause muscular pain to be felt in the right leg. Pain relief to the right leg may be desirable but it is correcting the left knee that will remove the cause

All of this seems to complicate things and go against my usual mantra of “keep it simple” but it is reality and shows the need for some knowledge, even when using natural and hugely beneficial treatments, as magnetic therapy. Following a straightforward, training course will help any one gain the maximum benefit from the use of Magnetic wraps and bandages.

When ever there is pain that does not have a known cause, when ever there is persistent pain, when ever pain seems to increase in severity and especially when there is sudden pain without a known traumatic cause; you should consult a qualified medical practitioner as soon as you can. Diagnosis of the cause should be as urgent as relief from the pain.

Magnets are really good for relief of pain, knowledge is needed for diagnosis. Go to www.magnetictherapy.co.uk and you will not only find all the magnetic aids you could hope for, you will also find information about an on line course to provide all the knowledge about Magnetic Therapy as well.

Including Shiatsu and Acupuncture. In the later part of this time I started to investigate the use of magnets as part of health care
I have treated thousands of patients using this experience and knowledge;
1983/4 studied Shiatsu at the East West Centre in London and continued studies with Harold Dull, Waturi Ohashi, Yamomoto etc
1984 to 1986 studied massage/ anatomy/ physiology/ acupuncture and homoeopathy with the Association of Natural Medicines.
Now retired from providing treatments that incorporate Shiatsu, Acupressure, Magnet Therapy, Moxibustion and advice on herbal, flower and homoeopathic remedies.
I have developed an on line course of instruction in Magnetic Therapy
Author of books on the I Ching and Magnet Therapy ( The practical guide to magnet
therapy pub Godsfield Press and Magnet healing pub Time Life.) but now concentrating on the “on line magnetic therapy course” and working on other books
