Hartvigsen et al. 2018).<\/p><p>Pain is more an indicator of the sensitivity of the nervous system than an indicator of tissue damage (O&#8217;Sullivan et al. 2019).<\/p><p>Imagine two very common occurrences of pain in everyday life: headaches and painful menstruations.<\/p><p>Almost no one ever thinks that it is necessary to do an emergency X-ray or MRI in these situations.<\/p><p>The pain is often very intense, but there is no damage to blame for it.<\/p><p>We simply accept that the head can sometimes hurt for various (more or less clear) reasons.<\/p><p>Also, often in these situations (headaches) we think:<br \/>&#8220;What could I have done that made this pain worse?&#8221;<\/p><p>Because we know and it is socially accepted that things like alcohol, dehydration, stress and lack of sleep can affect headaches.<\/p><p>This is how we should observe and analyse other pains of the musculoskeletal system, such as back pain.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Due to inadequate education and slow transfer and acceptance of new knowledge from the<br \/>scientific literature to educational institutions, pain is still viewed too mechanically, too anatomically and too structurally.<\/p><p><br \/>However, due to the large number of studies published in the field of pain pain science,<br \/>today we know that pain is an extremely complex multifactorial phenomenon.<\/p><p><br \/>For example, if we take 1000 people aged 60 who DO NOT have any back pain and do an<br \/>MRI on them, we will see that 60-70% of these people have various degenerative changes in<br \/>the spine such as disc herniation, disc protrusion, disc degeneration, etc. (Brinjiki et al. 2015)<br \/>Horga et al. (2020) showed on a sample of 230 asymptomatic (painless) knees that<\/p><p>degenerative changes were present in 97% of cases.<\/p><p>Other similar studies have reached the same conclusions for other joints.<br \/>Such evidence tells us that the anatomical structure is not the only factor that affects pain,<br \/>and that anatomical structure cannot always be fully blamed when something hurts.<\/p><p>This is especially the case with chronic, long-term pain.<\/p><p>If our back or knees hurt, it does not necessarily mean that there is tissue damage.<br \/>And if there is tissue damage, it does not mean that this damage is the (only) cause of the pain.<\/p><p>In other words, if your back hurts and the MRI shows that you have degenerative disc<br \/>changes or a protrusion, this does not automatically mean that the pain was caused by<br \/>these changes, nor that the pain will disappear if these changes are removed or modified in any way.<\/p><p>What are the factors that can affect the occurrence and intensity of pain?<br \/>Every day we come to new knowledge, but from what we know so far, these are some of<br \/>the most important factors that influence the occurrence and intensity of pain:<\/p><p><strong>1. Insufficient physical activity<\/strong><br \/><strong>2. Too much physical activity (&#8220;too much too soon&#8221;)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>3. Poor quality of sleep<\/strong><br \/><strong>4. Insufficient hours of sleep<\/strong><br \/><strong>5. High subjective perception of stress<\/strong><br \/><strong>6. Smoking cigarettes<\/strong><br \/><strong>7. Dissatisfaction with work<\/strong><br \/><strong>8. Bad social life<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>9. Kinesiophobia (fear of movement and fear that exercise will worsen pain)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>10. Anxiety<\/strong><br \/><strong>11. Depression<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>12. Catastrophizing (negative expectations)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>13. Obesity<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>14.
