What is pain management?
Pain management encompasses pharmacological (treatment with medicine), nonpharmacological, and other approaches to Prevent, Reduce, or Stop pain sensations.
Why does one need to control Pain?
Pain serves as an alert to potential or actual damage to the body. Any damage to the body or its organs starts a chemical reaction in the body, which is relayed to the brain. Brain senses it as pain reacts accordingly.
What are the different types of pains?
Pain is generally divided into two categories: Acute / Nociceptive pain - the pain that is transmitted by nociceptors, is typically called acute pain. This kind of pain is associated with injury, headaches, disease, and many other conditions. It usually resolves once the condition that caused it is resolved. E.g. Pain after surgery, an accident, fall or any other trauma.

Why treat pain when I can live with it?
Pain can have a negative impact on a person's quality of life and impede recovery from illness or injury. Unrelieved pain can become a syndrome in its own right and cause a downward spiral in a person's health and outlook. Uncontrolled and poorly managed pain leads to various problems like anxiety neurosis, hypertension, and depression with or without suicidal tendencies. Chronic untreated pain also leads to decrease in work output and loss of healthy social life. Managing pain properly facilitates recovery, prevents additional health complications, and improves an individual's quality of life.
