Feeling Safe Enough to Heal: Chronic Pain
Feeling Safe Enough to Heal: Chronic Pain
One of the most expensive and challenging medical illnesses to treat is chronic pain, and conventional treatment is unable to offer lasting relief. The evolutionary neurophysiological framework of the polyvagal hypothesis, which is based on systemic brain-body reactions to safety and threat, can be used to understand and treat chronic pain. Safety is necessary to encourage the health, development, and repair of the neurological system, which is necessary to treat chronic pain.

More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
