Pain management is our focus. If you have chronic pain, lower back pain, joint pain, fibromyalgia we may be able to help. If you have exhausted your options, we have a new, different pain model and treatment. We use neuroscience and neuroplastic theory, we also use Virtual Reality as a therapy model. Chronic pain is pain that has lasts for longer than three months or beyond the healing time of the event that caused it. We know this is because pain shifts from nociceptive (physical) pain to nociplastic (neuroplastic learned pain). This is why traditional treatments stop working, and a neuroplastic retraining of your brain is required
I have been working in the field for over 35 years, and become increasingly frustrated when pain patients receive more and more drugs and more and more invasive procedures that are sometimes harmful. So we have devised a better surgery and drug free way.
If you feel that you have exhausted your options but still have hope to heal, we may be able to offer you a way out.

Although I am a Clinical Psychologist I do not believe your pain is in your mind - it is in your BRAIN and your BODY it is neuroplastic pain, pain that your body has learned over time, pain that can be retrained.
