Pain Causes: Pulled Muscle, Pinched Nerve, or Pain Syndrome?

When you feel pain, sometimes it's tough to tell whether your pain is caused by a muscular or soft tissue injury, or nerve impingement and nervous system trauma, or maybe there's a deeper underlying cause.

There are several types of pain syndromes that might be the deeper root of your pain symptoms. These can cause you to feel:
*Hypersensitive to regular touch or pressure
*Extreme pain or discomfort in one area
*Restricted movement
*Other areas affected near the injured area

Read this article and think about your own physical signs:

A muscle strain, impinged nerve, or soft tissue sprain should respond well to first aid. But a pain syndrome will require careful evaluation and specific treatment.

Natural therapies such as massage, acupuncture, and sauna use can all provide relief and speed recovery. But start with basic first aid, then a comprehensive assessment if your pain persists, and then appropriate treatment after you have determined the cause of your pain.
