Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care—but what actually causes pain, and when should you seek treatment? 

Two Mount Sinai experts—Drs. Tanvir Choudrhi and Houman Danesh—discuss how physicians diagnose and treat pain, particularly neck and back pain that originates in the spine. Together, they break down:  

• Why pain is often more complex than it seems 
• How signals travel between the body and brain 
• Why identifying the root cause is key to effective treatment.
