🩺 Understanding Pain

West NY Health – Compassionate Relief, Clinical Precision

What Is Pain?

Pain is your body’s alarm system for potential tissue damage. A warning that something isn’t right. It can be:

  • Acute: Short-lived, often tied to a specific injury

  • Chronic: Persists beyond 3 months

  • Neuropathic: Originates from nerve damage

Whether it’s a dull ache or sharp, shooting discomfort, understanding your type of pain is the first step toward effective relief.
