Diagram 4 represents an example of a regeneration cycle that is focused on chronic pain inputs.
Development and regeneration are continuous processes that are influenced by genetic predisposition to pain, environment and social influences.
In this example, a client with an addiction to opioids may inadvertently shut down his receptors that normally excrete endorphins. The opioids now inhibit the firing and release of the Opioid medication thereby causing greater pain. Bad decisions can negatively impact pain.
Moreover, the negative impact of environmental influences (stress at work, negative social environments, drugs, alcohol) or even a parent who was previously addicted to narcotics can activate genes that are passed on through heredity. Again pain and addictions are impacted by genetics that ultimately excite a behavior (such as alcohol consumption or drug addiction) and the cycle of pain continues.
