When pain occurs it is showing you that somewhere in your body a problem has surfaced. Pain is like the "check engine" light that comes on in your car. If you ignore it or hide it with medication, the problem still exists. You must fix the cause. People shrug pain off everyday thinking it will work its way out, but often times that is not be the case. 

There are two types of pain:

1.  Acute Pain- This pain is new to the body and can be caused by a sprain, awkward fall, broken bone etc.

2.  Chronic Pain- This pain is different and might be accompanied by insomnia, exhaustion, even weight change and can last up to six months or more.  Many look to painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. This seems like the right thing to do because after all no one wants to live in the discomfort of pain.  Quite often painkillers will mask the cause of the problem by reducing the amount of pain.  Doesn’t it make more sense to find the true cause of the pain and treat it directly?
