Chronic pain significantly alters one’s life, affecting work capacity, sleep quality, mobility, and emotional well-being. It can persist without clear physical causes and may stem from the nervous system's persistent alerts. Research indicates that the pain may not be structural but generated by the brain's interpretation of bodily signals. Psychological therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, have been shown to effectively reduce chronic pain by targeting the brain's processing patterns rather than physical symptoms, helping to break the cycle of chronic pain and its reinforcement by emotional turmoil.
Chronic pain doesn't just hurt your body - it reshapes your life. It chips away at your ability to work, sleep, move freely and feel like yourself.
New research suggests that the pain loop is generated by the way your brain has learned to interpret signals from your body.
Therapy rewrites your brain to reduce pain at its source by targeting your brain's processing patterns, not your body's physical tissues.
When pain becomes chronic, your brain's default settings start to work against you, reinforcing pain through an overactive network of brain regions.
