How Chronic Pain Works:

A Surprising Science

Did you know that chronic pain isn’t just about the part of your body that hurts?

It’s actually controlled by your brain and nervous system.

Why Does Chronic Pain Stay?

Chronic pain changes how your brain and nerves work.

The longer you feel it, the more your brain gets used to sending pain signals.

It's like a bad habit—hard to break because the brain keeps repeating the same process over and over.



The good news is that your brain can also learn to stop sending those signals with the right approach.

Breaking the Pain Cycle:

How We Help

Connective Wellness uses methods like Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Distal Point Acupuncture, and strategic Clinical Hypnosis to retrain your brain and nervous system.

Science-backed techniques like Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) help your brain unlearn pain, calm down your nervous system, and reduce or eliminate chronic pain. Imagine finally shutting off that false alarm and living a pain-free life.

Distal point acupuncture (DPA) utilizes chronic pain science by treating points away from the pain, "resetting" the brain and nervous system. This approach calms overactive nerves and disrupts the pain cycle, allowing for more natural healing.

Clinical hypnosis is a science-backed technique that targets pain at its source—your brain. In a state of focused relaxation, your brain becomes more adaptable in processing pain signals. This reshaping trains your brain to disregard non-protective pain messages. Research shows that hypnosis not only alleviates immediate pain but also induces long-term changes in the nervous system, helping to break the pain cycle permanently.

Chronic pain doesn’t have to control your life.

With the right therapeutic approach, you can teach your brain to turn off unhelpful and nuisance pain signals for good.
