Pain is a danger signal.
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!
Neuroplastic pain results from the brain misinterpreting safe messages from the body as if they were dangerous.
In other words, neuroplastic pain is a false alarm.
Though the pain can be addressed psychologically, this does not imply that the pain is imaginary.
We've developed a treatment approach called Pain Reprocessing Therapy that aims to rewire neural pathways in the brain in order to deactivate pain.

The primary goal of the Pain Psychology Center is to help patients eliminate or significantly reduce their physical symptoms.
Traditionally, pain psychologists have focused on the management of pain, rather than its elimination.
Because chronic pain is often the result of learned nerve pathways in the brain, in many cases it can be eliminated or significantly reduced through psychotherapeutic processes.
Pain management models often fail to address the root causes of the pain, preventing full recovery.
