Conditions We Treat
When pain lingers and the nervous system stays on alert, the problem often lives in how the brain and nerves process signals.
Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond normal healing and involves the nervous system. The brain and nerves can become more sensitive over time, so pain may continue even when the original injury has healed.
When the system stays in a protective, heightened state, signals that would normally be mild can register as painful. This can affect sleep, activity, and mood, and it often feels different from the short-term pain that follows a fresh injury.
We start with our neuro-functional exam, using objective eye-tracking and VNG testing along with vestibular and cervical assessment. This helps us understand how your nervous system is processing information and where it may be staying in a heightened, protective state.
From there we build a personalized, brain-based rehabilitation plan aimed at retraining the pathways involved, and we re-test along the way so progress can be tracked with objective data rather than guesswork.

When the nervous system stays in a protective, heightened state, signals that would normally be mild can register as painful. The pain is real, but the driver has shifted from tissue damage to how the system is processing signals.

Heightened sensitivity to touch is a common feature of chronic pain. It reflects the nervous system becoming more reactive over time, so a stimulus that would previously have been unremarkable now registers as painful.
If ongoing pain is getting in the way of work, sleep, or daily life, an evaluation can help identify what needs targeted support.
