New YouTube Video: Chronic pain isn’t always about damage: what’s really going on

In this video, I explore what chronic pain is and why persistent pain cannot always be explained by ongoing injury or tissue damage alone. Many people are told that if pain persists, there must be something structurally wrong with their body. However, research over the past few decades has shown that chronic pain is often far more complex, involving changes in the nervous system, pain processing, and the way the brain interprets signals from the body.
In this video, I discuss the difference between acute and chronic pain, the role of the nervous system, and why understanding the science of pain can be an important step toward recovery and improved quality of life. I hope you find it helpful.
If you enjoy the video, please consider subscribing to the channel as I will be sharing regular content on chronic pain, chronic illness, mind-body syndromes, medical trauma, doctor-patient communication, and related topics. (And bare with me while I get the hang of actually making videos! :-D )
