What’s Causing My Pain?

Why the Answer Isn’t Always What You Think

Have you ever asked, “Why does this hurt when nothing is wrong?”
Or maybe you’ve had an X-ray, MRI, or blood work that came back “normal”—but your pain still isn’t going away.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. At Well+Able, we see this every day.

Pain is real. But it’s not always about tissue damage.
Sometimes it’s about overload, stress, nervous system sensitivity, or just having too many things stack up at once. Your pain is valid—but the solution isn’t always where you think it is.

The Body is Not a Machine

Your body isn’t a car with a broken part to fix. It’s a living system. That means:

  • Pain can show up even without a visible injury.

  • Posture isn’t always the problem (slouching won’t “break” you).

  • Emotions, sleep, activity levels, and life stress all influence how you feel.

You don’t need to be perfect to feel better. You just need support that sees the full picture.

Why Assessments Matter

At Well+Able, our assessments go beyond “tight muscles” or posture checks. We ask:

  • What are your daily stressors?

  • How is your sleep?

  • Are you moving in ways that feel good and safe?

  • What’s already working?

We take all of that into account to build a care plan that fits you.
