Physical Pain – Other Factors – Taking Control
Factors That Impact
the Pain Experience
The experience of chronic pain is created by a number of factors.
physical components of pain
We most frequently think about the physical component: a “signal” that is sent from some part of the body to the brain that something is “not right”. This is an important aspect of the pain experience.
other contributing factors of pain
However, research has shown that our thoughts, our emotions, our social interactions, and our activity level can all contribute to the feeling of pain. These factors can make the pain experience worse or better, depending on how we manage these aspects of pain.
