Science has come a long way in helping individuals understand the experience of pain. Previously, pain was believed to be a result of a purely physical or anatomical issue, stemming from injury, illness or tissue damage.

Fortunately, a newer understanding of how pain works ¡ª pain science ¡ª takes a far more complex and nuanced view. Pain science moves away from the idea that tissue damage alone equates to pain.
