Chronic pain can take many forms, and knowing its classification is essential for proper care. Pain is commonly divided into nociceptive (tissue or joint damage), neuropathic (nerve injury), nociplastic (altered nervous system response), and mixed pain (a combination of types). Each type has unique causes—ranging from arthritis and back conditions to fibromyalgia or nerve damage—and requires targeted approaches for treatment. Understanding these essentials empowers you to choose smarter solutions and regain control of your daily life.
