Activated Glial Cells Amplify Pain

Pain is a curious thing.  I treat people with it all the time.  Many people get better with what I do.  Others show no response. Some have pain no matter what they do, even months or years after an injury or even when no injury has occurred.  Why is that? Here is a little bit of information on what can cause pain outside of the direct causes of acute injury.

Examples from the current literature are: depression, anxiety disorders and chronic stress, multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer’s and diabetes, as well as lack of exercise and poor diet. Author: “Glial cells are an important factor in ensuring the equilibrium of a person’s neuroinflammatory system.”
