 Pain Reprocessing Therapy

Picture
I am a certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) provider offering evidence-based treatment for chronic pain. PRT is a neuroscience-informed approach that helps individuals reduce or eliminate persistent pain by retraining the brain and nervous system.
​
What Is Pain Reprocessing Therapy?
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an evidence-based treatment for chronic pain that is not primarily caused by ongoing tissue damage. Research shows that many chronic pain conditions are maintained by the brain’s pain circuits rather than structural injury.
PRT helps the brain reinterpret pain signals as non-dangerous, reducing fear and threat responses that keep pain active. Treatment combines pain neuroscience education, somatic awareness, emotional processing, and psychological skills to calm the nervous system and interrupt chronic pain patterns.
PRT is supported by clinical research, including a randomized controlled trial published in JAMA Psychiatry.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Pain Reprocessing Therapy?
Pain Reprocessing Therapy may be a good fit if you:
  • Have chronic pain lasting longer than 3 months
  • Have pain that persists despite medical treatment or normal imaging results
  • Experience pain that fluctuates with stress, emotions, or attention
  • Have been diagnosed with centralized or neuroplastic pain
  • Are open to a mind-body, neuroscience-based pain treatment approach
PRT is commonly used for conditions such as chronic back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, pelvic pain, repetitive strain injuries, jaw pain (TMJ), and other chronic pain syndromes.

How Pain Reprocessing Therapy Can Help
Pain Reprocessing Therapy is designed to:
  • Reduce chronic pain intensity and frequency
  • Address fear, hypervigilance, and pain-related anxiety
  • Improve physical functioning and daily activity
  • Restore confidence in the body’s safety
  • Provide long-term tools for nervous system regulation and pain management
PRT recognizes that pain is real. The goal is not to dismiss symptoms, but to treat the underlying brain-based mechanisms that perpetuate chronic pain.
