Pain

What is Pain?

Pain is the body’s natural protective response, designed to alert you to injury or potential harm.

When tissues are damaged, signals travel to the brain, which interprets them as pain. This helps you avoid further injury. However, when pain persists or becomes severe, it can limit movement, reduce function, and slow down recovery.

If you are dealing with ongoing pain in Singapore, ACE Physio Sports can help you manage it effectively and return to normal activities.

Types of Pain

Pain is complex and can be classified into different types:

Nociceptive Pain (Tissue Injury)

• Somatic pain: From muscles, joints, bones, or ligaments
• Sharp, aching, or throbbing
• Easy to locate (e.g., knee pain, muscle strain)
• Visceral pain: From internal organs
• Dull, deep, and hard to localise
• May feel like referred pain

Non-Nociceptive Pain (Nerve-Related)

• Neuropathic pain:
• Caused by nerve damage or irritation
• Burning, tingling, or shooting pain
• Example: nerve compression
• Sympathetic pain:
• Linked to the nervous system
• Example: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Acute vs Chronic Pain

Pain is also classified based on duration:

• Acute pain → recent injury (e.g., sprain, strain)
• Sub-acute pain → transition phase
• Chronic pain → lasts more than 3 months

Chronic pain may continue even after tissues have healed and requires specialised management.

Symptoms of Pain

Pain can present in many ways depending on the cause.

Common experiences include:

• Sharp or dull aching pain
• Stiffness and reduced movement
