Effects of chronic pain therapy - how is that possible?

• Neuroplastic pain arises when the brain repeatedly expects pain during certain movements or activities, even when there is no physical cause or a previous injury has already healed.

• This type of pain can often occur after actual injuries because the brain continues to assume that certain movements are painful.

• But they can also begin seemingly "out of nowhere".

• The pain is completely real – it is just as noticeable as pain resulting from a physical injury and should never be considered "imagined".

• Recent research suggests that the majority (more than 50%!) of patients with chronic pain have neuroplastic pain.

There is strong evidence from scientific research that neuroplastic pain can be "unlearned." In some studies, people who had struggled with chronic pain for years were able to significantly reduce their pain or even become completely pain-free. This is possible because the pain is perceived and assessed as not dangerous (since it has no physical cause).

• People can learn to observe pain attentively and consciously interpret its signals.

• Through targeted exercises, the perception of pain signals can be changed without automatically interpreting them as dangerous.

• This allows the brain's misinterpretation to be corrected step by step. The pain decreases and can even disappear completely.

If one or more of the following questions can be answered with "yes", it is at least likely that you have neuroplastic pain:

• Did the pain first occur during a stressful period in life?

• Is the pain intensity irregular (sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker)?

• Did the pain begin without any physical injury?

• Did the pain occur after an injury, but persist even after the normal healing time?

• Do you have pain in different parts of your body?

• Does the pain change over time and/or spread?

• Does the pain worsen under stress?

• Does the pain subside when you engage in an activity you enjoy?

• Are there any pain triggers that have nothing to do with the body? (the weather, certain people, work, ...)

• Does the pain occur on both sides of the body?

• Is there a lack of a clear physical diagnosis, or are there a multitude of (contradictory) diagnoses that have not contributed to the healing of the pain?

• Does the pain occur with a delay (hours or a day after the activity)?

• Do these descriptions apply to you, at least in part: worrying often, putting yourself under pressure, perfectionism, wanting to please others, general anxiety?

In my consultation, I will guide you through the process of...

• finding out if your pain could have neuroplastic causes

• unlearning neuroplastic pain patterns step by step,

• dealing with your pain in such a way that you can enjoy more ease and freedom in everyday life.
