What Really Causes Pain (It’s Not What You Think)
Feeling that persistent ache? Tired of being told it's "just wear and tear"? A huge shift is happening in how we understand pain, especially that nagging low back pain. And if you've been searching for a real solution, this is vital reading.
The Science is In: Inflammation and Pain are Linked
A brand-new landmark study just dropped a bombshell: people with higher levels of systemic inflammation were significantly more likely to experience low back pain.
In fact, the group with the highest inflammation levels had a staggering 66% higher chance of having back pain compared to the group with the lowest levels.
What does this mean for your body?
It means we need to retire the old playbook. Pain isn't always about tissue damage. More often, it’s about inflammation and the hyper-sensitivity it creates in your entire nervous system.
I've been seeing this connection firsthand since getting certified in RAPID NeuroFascial Reset (keep reading to understand how RAPID NFR helps with pain).
Why Inflammation Turns Up Your Pain Alarm
Think of inflammation as your body's emergency response team. When you have an injury, stress, illness, or simply overuse an area, the immune system releases powerful chemicals.
These chemicals are designed to protect you, but they also have a side effect: they can make your nerves more sensitive.
That’s why an inflamed area can feel:
More tender
More reactive
More painful with movement
Sore even when you're completely resting
Crucial Note: This sensitivity does not mean you have serious, irreparable damage. It just means your body’s alarm system has been cranked up way too loud.
The Old Way vs. The Healing Way
For years, the standard advice for pain was to immediately reach for: Ice, Rest, and Anti-inflammatories.
The goal? Shut down the inflammation completely.
But we now know that trying to squash inflammation entirely can actually slow down healing and make your pain stick around longer! Your body needs a healthy inflammatory response to:
Protect the injured or stressed area.
Bring in the "clean-up crew" cells.
Start the repair process.
Then, naturally settle down.
When this process gets "stuck"—when the area keeps feeling sensitive long after the tissues should be okay—that’s when you need a helping hand.
The RAPID Difference: Restarting the Healing Cycle
The goal of RAPID NeuroFascial Reset is not to fight inflammation, but to work with your body’s natural healing power.
Instead of shutting the process down, we use precise, targeted hands-on techniques to gently create a small, controlled inflammatory response (using a natural chemical called Substance P).
This strategic move helps your body:
✅ Restart the stalled healing process.
✅ Calm down those oversensitive, "turned up" nerves.
✅ Complete the healing cycle that was interrupted.
✅ Restore normal, pain-free movement.
It's a powerful, safe way to send a clear message to your nervous system: "It’s time to fix this for real and turn the alarm back down."
This is why so many people get fast, lasting relief with RAPID—even when ice, rest, and pills haven't helped.
RAPID combined with joint mobility training is a game changer!
🔑 Your Takeaway
If you're dealing with pain—especially persistent or recurring pain—it might not be about damage at all. It may be about inflammation and a nervous system stuck in "high alert."
The good news? This is something I can treat, and I’m seeing amazing results every day.
