Why does back or knee pain sometimes persist long after an injury? Inflammation is part of the body‘s response to injury, but when it continues, it can interfere with tissue repair and contribute to persistent pain.
And inflammation isn’t always the whole explanation. Changes in how the nervous system processes pain can also play a role.
Understanding what driving your pain is essential to choosing the right treatment.
