Pain Science Physical Therapy lead physical therapist Dr. Orit Hickman discusses what is chronic pain syndrome and the neuroscience behind what is and is not the true cause of chronic pain.

When we analyze a patient’s chronic pain, we try to look into the history of that patient’s pain. What feels like the same pain’s cause can change as time goes on.

We know more about pain than we did before, so our treatments must change. We use wellresearched techniques such as graded motor imagery and therapeutic pain neuroscience education.

Pain is caused not by physical trauma, but by messages sent by your brain.

Often educating patients on the neuroscience of how pain is really caused leads to the best path of alleviating it.
