What Is Referred Pain?

Referred pain is discomfort felt in an area far from the actual source of injury. Because different regions’ nerves share spinal pathways, this occurs. Consequently, the brain misinterprets the real cause of pain.At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, we specialize in combining cutting-edge therapies and sophisticated clinical abilities to diagnose and treat referred pain.
