No one wants pain. But everyone has it…
In this video, Dr. Farley delves into the complexities of chronic pain, explaining its chemical and structural causes. He discusses how pain is mediated by the brain and body, emphasizing the importance of a scientific approach to treatment.
The video introduces the concept of hemisphericity, where one side of the brain is weaker, and describes how stimulating this weaker side can reset pain pathways and address central sensitization. Dr. Farley highlights the types of pain pathways and role of mechanical receptors in blocking pain signals through movement, preventing the establishment of chronic pain patterns.
The video also covers the five main pain pathways, the pain gate theory, the complex regional pain syndrome, and the impact of various chemicals like prostaglandins and histamine on pain and inflammation.
