Pain is a complicated beast

As the title says, pain is a complicated beast. Through high quality research, primarily in the last five to 20 years, we are confident that pain is an output of the brain.  

The correlation between tissue and joint damage and pain? Well, there is no correlation. You can have significant arthritic changes and be ‘too busy for pain’, but equally you can have ‘healed tissues’, yet still have pain.  
“I would like to thank John for his pragmatic, fast and effective treatment of my lower back pain. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.”
Andrew Marsden
