DR WENDY CHRISTIEN - Understanding Pain Types: Nociceptive, Neuropathic & Nociplastic Pain Explained

Loading player...
Discover the three main types of pain—nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic—and how they affect the body. Nociceptive pain stems from tissue damage (like burns or cuts), neuropathic pain arises from nerve dysfunction (such as sciatica or diabetic neuropathy), and nociplastic pain involves abnormal pain processing (seen in fibromyalgia or chronic pain syndromes). Learn how each type is diagnosed, treated, and managed, from immediate first aid for acute injuries to long-term strategies like stress reduction, gentle exercise, and specialized therapies. If you're struggling with unexplained or persistent pain, this guide helps you identify potential causes and when to seek professional help.
