WHAT IS PAIN?
Pain is the most common symptom of disease, which accompanies us from an early age. It is a protective mechanism to which the body responds to harmful stimuli.3 Pain is an unpleasant sensation which signals an actual or possible injury.4
DESCRIBING PAIN
The nature of the pain may be difficult to describe as it may be sharp or dull, intermittent or constant, throbbing or steady.4
There are two main types of pain that help to categorise the type of pain you might be experiencing, Short term and long tern – also known as acute pain and chronic pain.
SHORT TERM VS LONG TERM
SHORT TERM – also known as acute pain
Is triggered by tissue damage and may be associated with skeletal muscle spasm and nervous system activation.3
LONG TERM – also known as chronic pain
Is persistent, lasting for months or even longer, and the cause may not always be clear. Chronic pain may be considered a health condition in itself.3
HOW DOES NORFLEX HELP RELIEVE PAIN?
The active ingredient in NORFLEX® is Orphenadrine citrate, which is a skeletal muscle relaxant. It acts in the central nervous system to produce its muscle relaxant effects.1.5
