If you are one of the millions of people living with persistent back pain, you know how exhausting and debilitating it is.If you have not gotten good results from conventional pain management programs, there is a new healing path forward.
A New Evidence-based Approach to Chronic Pain Recovery
Chronic pain is 100% real. New science shows us that chronic pain is not all in your head or all in your body, but in your nervous system. Because your nervous system can change and heal, recovery is not only possible—it's within reach.
The Science of Pain: What Your Nervous System is Trying to Tell You
Your pain is very real, but its cause isn't always ongoing tissue damage. For many with chronic pain, it's a phenomenon called "central sensitization", where the nervous system has become overly protective and is sending extra-strong pain signals. This is believed to be a major contributing factor in approximately 85% of chronic pain cases.The original injury may have healed, but your brain and nervous system have learned to be more sensitive to pain.Over time, the persistent pain has changed how your brain processes signals. Even normal, harmless movements can be interpreted as a threat, causing pain to feel more intense.
Could Your Pain be Driven by an Overprotective Nervous System?
Do you notice any of these patterns?
Pain originated during time of stress.
Pain came on without an initial injury, or pain persisted after initial injury was healed.
Pain is inconsistent. For example, it is there in the morning but not in the afternoon.
Pain moves around, from one part of the body to another.
Pain is affected by stress level. For example, pain is worse when you are at work, pain is better when you are doing something enjoyable.
Doctors can't find any clear cause for your pain.
If you also experience anxiety and gastrointestinal issues caused by stress.
Hope and Recovery
If your nervous system has learned to feel pain, the amazing news is that you can actively guide it to unlearn that pain. This isn't about ignoring your pain, but about teaching your brain new ways to respond to pain signals. You have more influence over your healing than you think.Just as your brain created these pain pathways over time, it can learn to create new pathways and discard old pain pathways. Every step you take to help your brain move toward this direction, you are reclaiming a life of greater freedom, ease and joy.

Neuroplasticity and Chronic Pain Recovery
Think of your brain's pain system like a smoke alarm. When there's a fire (an acute injury), the alarm does its job and sounds loudly. But in chronic pain, it's like the alarm is stuck on and keeps blaring long after the fire is gone. Neuroplasticity is the process of gently retraining that alarm to recognize when it's safe to be quiet againNeuroplasticity is also like creating a new, positive pathway and give the pain signals less power. Your brain has been using a 'pain pathway' for so long that it's become a superhighway. With gentle repetition, we can turn the superhighway back into a quiet dirt road.
