Your Pain Is Real. The Cause Might Be Different Than You Think.

Persistent pain can have several causes. For some people, learned nervous-system pathways continue producing pain after tissues have healed—and those pathways can change.

How It Works

Your pain is real

Neuroplastic pain isn't imaginary. It uses the same neural pathways as any injury.

Your brain learned a pattern

Your brain got stuck in a pain loop. It keeps sending danger signals even when tissue has healed.

Patterns can be unlearned

In one trial, 33 of 50 people receiving therapist-led PRT were pain-free or nearly pain-free after treatment.
