Pain reprocessing therapy
You Might Have Neuroplastic Pain If:
-You have pain that appeared sporadically without an initial physical injury or accident
-You’ve seen many doctors/specialists/PT’s/OT’s and no one really seems to know exactly what is causing your pain
-Your scans and bloodwork show minimal or “normal abnormalities” that don’t seem proportionate to the severity of your pain
-You’ve had surgery/surgeries and your pain has remained or worsened long after the surgical site has healed
-Your pain moves around or changes location in your body
-Your pain is affected by weather, mood, emotion, stress, time of day
Living with chronic pain can be relentless. You may feel hopeless that you will ever find relief. It’s a scary experience to lack trust in your body and to be hindered from engaging in your life through meaningful and enlivening ways.
Emerging research is revealing that quite a large percentage of chronic pain conditions have a neuroplastic component - which is actually hopeful. Neuroplastic pain is pain that is generated from the brain, rather than from structural damage within the body.
Neuroplastic pain is REAL pain. This pain occurs when the brain is inaccurately interpreting safe signals in the body as dangerous, and it then generates real pain in the body.
The hopeful part about this is that the brain can be re-wired. PRT helps the brain re-learn how to correctly decipher safe signals from threat signals. It helps restore safety within the body so that the brain and body can sync back into harmony with one another.
Common diagnoses that may have a neuroplastic component include:
POTS, Chronic neck pain, back pain, pelvic pain, Interstitial Cystitis, Fibromyalgia, IBS, FND, Tension headaches/migraines, Tinnitus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Schedule an initial assessment session to determine if PRT could be a good fit for your pain.
