When you experience pain, it is your body's natural response to actual or potential damage. In other words, your body is protecting you-even when it might feel like it isn't. When describing pain, the types will fall into three categories: Nociceptive Pain, Neuropathic Pain and Mixed Pain.

Depending on the type of pain you are experiencing, your pain specialist will be able to create an appropriate treatment plan for relieving your pain and restoring your normal lifestyle.After the patient has completed the "test drive, " the patient and pain specialist will decide whether or not spinal cord stimulation is an effective therapy.

Many of us have experienced pain in some degree throughout the course of our lives. We may understand what pain can feel like, but it can still be difficult to fully define. A good definition of pain is "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage."

Pain can be very difficult to manage, as the treatment varies from patient to patient. Sometimes the treatment path for a patient can be as simple as resting and aspirin, or as involved as taking medication or having surgery. Usually, physicians will follow a treatment plan that begins with less invasive therapies and progresses to stronger, more invasive solutions depending on the type and severity of pain.
