Autonomic Dysfunction
Autonomic Dysfunction

Q. My injury is healed, they say, but I'm still in pain (chronic pain).

A.

It's the phenomenon of "central sensitization," where the pain circuit is imprinted in the brain. Even though the wound has healed, the brain continues to send erroneous signals saying 'it hurts'. Now, pain is managed not by painkillers, but by treatments that stabilize brain nerves.

📝 Detailed Answer

통증 알람이 오작동해서 계속 울리는 겁니다.

  • 우울증: 만성 통증 환자의 절반은 우울증을 앓습니다. 우울증을 치료하면 통증도 줄어듭니다.
  • 운동: 아프다고 누워만 있으면 통증 민감도가 더 올라갑니다. 조금씩 움직이세요.
💡 봉침

봉침(벌독)은 강력한 진통 효과와 면역 조절 작용으로 만성 통증 제어에 효과적입니다.
