Could your pain be neuroplastic?
 

Many people struggle with chronic symptoms — pain, fatigue, migraines, gut issues — without a clear medical explanation. If you’ve tried multiple treatments without lasting relief, there’s a chance your symptoms may not be caused by physical damage or disease, but by something else entirely: your brain.

This doesn’t mean the pain is “all in your head.” Neuroplastic (or mind-body) pain is very real — but it’s generated by the nervous system, not a structural injury. This type of pain often develops from chronic stress, suppressed emotions, or past trauma, and continues due to fear, tension, and hypervigilance in the body.

This short self-assessment is based on the work of experts like Alan Gordon, Dr. Howard Schubiner, and the FIT Criteria (Feelings, Inconsistency, Triggers). It helps you discover whether your symptoms may be driven by reversible brain-based mechanisms — and if you might benefit from mind-body approaches like Pain Reprocessing Therapy.
