Resources for: Contributing Factors to Pain

Stress

How does stress facilitate more pain, and can be done about it?

Sleep

The body does its best healing when we are in quality sleep. It changes our reactions the next day as well.

Social Interaction

How we connect with loved ones, how we relate to strangers, and how we perceive the world all influence how we feel.

Level of Physical Activity

Whether you think of physical activity as formal exercise, sport, household chores, stairs, walking, or simple movement, the amount you physically exert yourself has an impact on your pain.

Thoughts and Emotions

Without our thoughts, we wouldn’t have emotions. Without emotions, we wouldn’t react to pain.

Diet

What we put in our bodies affects input to the brain, and is added to the net output the brain signals to the body.
