Physical pain is generally '''“referred” pain''', which means that the area of the physical pain is not the source of the pain. There may be layers of mental, emotional and spiritual trauma that to the mind will seem unrelated, however, when these layers of trauma are addressed, the physical sensation of the pain will shift and lift. | Physical pain is generally '''“referred” pain''', which means that the area of the physical pain is not the source of the pain.

In [[Referred Pain]], sensory nerve fibers such as those from dermatomes may come together at the same spinal cord level as the general visceral afferent fibers such as those from the heart. When the general visceral sensory fiber is stimulated, the central nervous system does not clearly discern whether the pain is coming from the body wall or from the viscera, so it perceives the pain as coming from somewhere on the body wall, e.g., left arm/hand pain, jaw pain. So the pain is "referred to" the related dermatomes of the same spinal segment.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatome_(anatomy) Dermatome]</ref> | In [[Referred Pain]], sensory nerve fibers such as those from dermatomes may come together at the same spinal cord level as the general visceral afferent fibers such as those from the heart.
