CHRONIC PAIN

If you have chronic pain, it’s likely you have tried many approaches to resolve it- medication, physical therapy, surgery, injections and more. New research in neuroscience shows that certain kinds of pain (neuroplastic) can be reduced and reversed with Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT).

I use a clinically proven system of psychological techniques that retrain the brain to interpret and respond to signals from the body properly, breaking the cycle of neuroplastic chronic pain, the leading cause of pain in the U.S.

Normally when we injure ourselves, the body sends signals to the brain informing us of tissue damage, and we feel pain. But sometimes, the brain can make a mistake by telling us we feel pain long after it can be linked to structural damage. This is called Neuroplastic Pain. This pain is not “all in your head”; it is quite real. 

As shown by recent studies, neuroplastic pain can include:

  • chronic back pain
  • neck pain,
  • fibromyalgia symptoms
  • repetitive strain injuries
  • migraines and other headaches,
  • frequent night-time urination

And now, we can help you reduce and reverse pain with a specific counseling protocol which is eye-opening, informative and effective. Learn more about this process here.

Please call for a free 20-minute consultation and we can discuss how the process works.
