Modern pain modalities can help manage pain and aid healing. Pain does have a protective function in nature, warning of damage and promoting careful treatment of the affected area. However, pain can be destructive, too: by heightening the cellular stress response, the autonomic, somatic, and endocrine reflexes are diminished, resulting in protein breakdown, platelet aggregation, nausea, and a suppressed immune system. This article will examine how the modalities manage pain from acute traumas and sports injuries.
