About This Event
- Event Type:Classes
- Max Capacity:50
An ideal introduction for ANYONE to the ideas of Mind Body Medicine! Sign up separately for each session.
What participants will learn
- The new neuroscience of how pain in the body is VERY REAL but is not coming from tissue inflammation.
- Why continuing to focus on the painful body part often does not help – because the problem is often in the nervous system.
- How your brain works and what you can start doing to
re-wire some of the pain circuits. - Why MRI and CT scans are great tests to rule out severe disease but are frequently a lousy way to tell a patient what is “wrong” with your back/hip/abdomen/pelvis.
Who should participate?
- Anyone with chronic pain or other chronic physical symptoms that are not well-controlled with traditional treatments.
- Anyone who wants to learn how to reduce symptoms with non-pharmacologic tools.
- People who have tried injections, surgeries, procedures, supplements and more, but still cannot find relief from unwanted physical symptoms.
Symptoms that often respond to Mind Body treatments: IBS, chronic pelvic pain, chronic prostatitis, migraines, chronic musculoskeletal pain (back, hip, foot, and others), and fibromyalgia.
