title: Why do physical treatments relieve pain?
abstract: Those engaged in the clinical rather than the experimental field of medicine are constantly striving to improve their methods of relieving pain, using chemotherapy, surgery or physical therapy according to their particular specialization. This is hardly surprising, since all hospital departments, wards and private clinics are filled with a large proportion of patients seeking, primarily, relief from pain.
