Pain & Neuropathway Symptoms Reprocessing:
To understand this section, you have to suspend your doubts and be opened to new ideas that are science based and experience based. It is not theoretical.
What do we include under neuropathway/neuroplastic conditions or neuroplastic pain?
Fibromyalgia, Non Ulcer Dyspepsia, Post Viral Symptoms, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, EMS, RSI, IBS, Migrains of all sort, Tension Headache, Bowel Pain, Pelvic Pain, Stomach Pain, Chronic Pain in any parts of the body, Vertigo, Chronic Dizziness, Anxiety……
Neuroplastic pain and neuroplastic symptoms are conditioned responses.
What is neuroplasticity?
What is pain?
Pain is a danger signal.
It was designed only to alert us of physical damage needing attention, rest and repair.
Pain is determined in the brain by the balance between safety and danger.
Being alive as an organism, our job, is to stay alive.
So our nervous system (NS) contineously scans our outer and inner environment for danger: “This is safe, that is not”…..24hr/24hr, 7days/week.
Pain even in the absence of acute physical hurt will occur when the part of the nervous system in charge of perceiving threat is not aligned with the actual threat or stimulus.
What is neuroplastic pain?
Neuroplastic pain occurs when the brain feels in danger. The danger can be real or perceived. The danger can be emotional, psychological, mental, physical, within ourself or outside ourself.
We are neurologically wired to think that the causes of the pain are/is physical.
How do I know that I have chronic pain or/and one or several neuroplastic conditions?
Pain reprocessing: A different approach:
We build skills at responding to our nervous system. We learn techniques to change how we relate to ourself, our symptoms and the world.
