There’s the potential to look at pain sciences, or the body of research relating to understanding pain as only related to people in ‘chronic’ or persistent pain.
The research however is unequivical that understanding the science of pain is as relevant to health professionals as anatomy and physiology.
It doesn’t just impact those who pain is their only complaint but sheds light on how the body operates whenever it experiences pain.
The problem is that pain sciences often gives us uncomfortable truths. It often refutes common and clinician favoured treatments and doesn’t provide much certainty on future treatment options.
But just because it is challenging, doesn’t mean we can ignore it.
