What Causes Your Body to Feel Pain?
Pain is the body’s alarm system. It signals that tissues are stressed, inflamed, or injured, and it prompts protective changes in how you move. Understanding what drives pain helps you choose strategies that address the source, not just the sensation.
Two Broad Types of Pain
- Acute pain: short-term pain after a clear event (a fall, strain, stubbed toe). It improves as tissues heal.
- Chronic pain: persists beyond normal healing (often > 3–6 months). It can involve ongoing tissue sensitivity, inflammation, and nervous-system changes.
What Actually Triggers the Pain Signal?
When tissues are strained or injured, several things happen at the site:
- Inflammation: chemical messengers increase sensitivity of local nerve endings (nociceptors).
- Swelling (edema): extra fluid and pressure can limit micro-circulation and movement.
- Reduced oxygen delivery: tight, guarded muscles and swelling may impair normal blood flow.
Your nervous system then carries these signals to the brain, where they’re interpreted as pain. If the cycle persists, movement patterns can change, muscles can weaken or tighten, and pain can become chronic.
Addressing the Source: Why Circulation and Support Matter
Approaches that calm irritated tissues, reduce local pressure, and support healthy movement can help break the pain cycle. People often report benefit from a combination of:
- Gentle support & posture cues to reduce strain on sensitive areas.
- Movement & mobility to encourage blood flow and tissue remodeling.
- Heat or targeted modalities to relax tight muscles and improve comfort.
Field Strength & Practical Notes (Plain Language)
- Surface gauss matters: look for the stated surface gauss rating (what reaches the skin), not just internal specs.
- Size & placement: larger magnets and thoughtful placement can influence how far the field extends into soft tissues.
- Stacking: stacking attracting poles can increase effective field at the surface, but gains are not purely additive.
