This makes sense 🫵
4 phases of transition from #acute to #ChronicPain

In this paper (published in the prestigious journal @NeuroCellPress), the #brain circuitry and their interactions across the phases are illustrated in human brain imaging studies.

Yesterday I learned the Squamish word “Chénchenstway” meaning “To lift each other up”.
