Renew your functioning. Renew your body with less pain. |

Chronic pain occurs when the brain rewires itself and supports a cycle of noxious chemical processes that produce what we experience as pain. It is biological. Chronic pain is estimated to disable over 50 million people, ranking 2nd only to the common cold in lost work days and 65 billion dollars in medical expenses annually. Group cognitive-behavioral treatment for chronic pain is just as effective as individual treatment and very affordable. Live your very best life. |
