    Is Your Pain In Your Head? Some Of It May be

    📩 Contact us: talkingwithdocs@gmail.com Pain is real, but sometimes the source is not what you think. In this episode, the doctors explain why pain can persist even when scans, tests, and exams come back normal. Many people are told “nothing is wrong,” yet they continue to live with daily discomfort, stiffness, or chronic pain. We break down how the nervous system, stress, past injuries, and emotional load can all influence how pain is experienced in the body. This is not about saying pain is “in your head.” It is about understanding how pain works so you can finally make sense of symptoms that do not have a clear physical explanation. You’ll learn: - Why pain can exist even without visible tissue damage - How the nervous system can amplify or sustain pain - The difference between structural pain and sensitized pain - Why stress, trauma, and emotions can affect physical symptoms - When imaging tests fail to explain ongoing pain - What a whole-body approach to pain actually means If you have been struggling with pain that does not seem to match your scans or diagnosis, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a better way to understand what your body is telling you. 🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OFxEjictC41CCS1z2AVKe Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/talking-with-docs/id1799242189 YouTube Music: • TWD Podcast 👕 Shop Our MERCH: https://www.spreadshirt.ca/shop/user/talking+with+docs/ ❤️ Support Oakville Hospital: https://donate.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com 📱 Follow Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingwithdocs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithdocs/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Talking-with-Docs-100066771782727/ 🛑 DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
