Nerve Regeneration
- Nerves can regenerate and heal, contrary to popular belief.
- They are programmed to do so.
Nerve Types
- Three types of nerves: sensory, motor, and autonomic.
- Sensory nerves deal with feeling, motor nerves with movement, and autonomic nerves with automatic functions.
Cause of Nerve Pain
- Nerve pain is caused by an influx of fluids, especially calcium ions, into the nerve.
- This influx stimulates pain signals and the initial stages of nerve regeneration.
