Pain is a neurological impulse and a protective mechanism that the body possesses. Pain is emitted during times in which the body is undergoing either internal or external stimulation that can be damaging to the tissues. For example, pain is emitted after tearing a tissue or breaking a bone in order to prevent the person from using that area of the body to protect from further injury. Pain also arises when nerve endings in a particular body segment are placed under pressure due to swelling/edema. In many cases most pain experienced in the clinic is due to left over swelling from injury/surgery or some type of muscle spasm.

No, we try and make therapy as pain free as possible. There are certain conditions and surgical procedures that will cause pain and will not be pleasant, but part of the goal of therapy is to try and control and minimize your pain in order to facilitate healing.
