Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a breakthrough, science-backed approach to treating chronic pain by addressing its root cause: the brain’s misfiring of danger signals.

​

When pain persists beyond the normal course of healing and no structural cause is found, traditional treatments like medications, injections, or surgeries often don’t provide lasting relief.

​

All pain is real. But not all pain stems from tissue damage. In many chronic cases, pain continues because the brain has learned to stay on high alert.

​

This is known as neuroplastic pain—and it’s driven by an overprotective nervous system. Neuroplastic pain results from the brain misinterpreting safe messages from the body as if they were dangerous. The body is safe, and the pain is just a false alarm.

 

Neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change and adapt—means just as pain can be learned, it can also be unlearned. That’s where PRT comes in.

Our staff at AYC are able to help client's understand neuroplasticity and offer strategies on how to manage the brain and the misfiring of signals to the body-call us for an intake appt.
