How to Figure Out What Type of Pain You Have (Mechanical vs Neuropathic vs Chronic)


Listen Later

In today's episode, I cover the three primary types of musculoskeletal pain, which include mechanical (nociceptive) pain, neuropathic (nerve) pain and chronic or persistent pain.

Understanding what type of pain you have helps determine the best path forward in terms of which treatment options to pursue. In future episodes, I will dive deeper into specific treatment interventions for each type of pain. 

If you are suffering from pain or an injury, my book has comprehensive rehab programs for the 50 most common injuries and pain issues. Each program guides you through three phases of rehab and has pictures of me doing the exercises. The book is almost 500 pages in length and each body region has its own chapter. It is the type of reference that is intended to help you manage your own pains and injuries. Click the following Amazon LINK to learn more about my book.
