Abstract

In clinical settings, we often treat pain, but the cause of pain is often not clear. We sometimes use X-ray images to identify the cause of pain. However, symptoms and X-ray images are not necessarily consistent. Therefore, a basic understanding of the nature of pain is necessary. We must learn how damaged tissue is restored, and the organization of healthy tissue. Only then can we understand how damaged connective tissue is restored and how the percentages of the fiber and matrix components change during the repair and organization processes. Based on this anatomic knowledge, we can understand how to treat pain.
