How do I know if my symptoms are neuroplastic?

A few key indicators:

• You've had symptoms for over 6 months (beyond the expected injury healing period)

• You have already tried one or more medical solutions

• Symptoms come and go, move around, or appear in multiple locations

• Symptoms started around a stressful time and/or get worse in times of stress

• You identify as someone who is anxious, a worrier, or a people-pleaser

I work for Dr. Kennedy, MD who is trained to diagnose neuroplastic pain if you would like to get an official diagnosis. However, if 1) you have already visited a medical practitioner and ruled out disease or infection which require urgent intervention, and 2) you have already tried various treatments without success, it is generally safe to try a neuroplastic approach.

How long will it take for me to heal?

Healing time varies for each person. It can be quite fast, but can also take time depending on a variety of factors. The standard recommendation in the field is to check in on progress after 8-12 sessions.

I am based in Portland, OR but meet with all clients virtually.

I have had symptoms for many months or years, can this treatment still help me?​

The amount of time you have been struggling with symptoms does not determine the amount of healing time. Participants in the Boulder Back Pain Study had on average 11 years of pain, and 66% were pain-free or nearly pain-free at the end of four weeks of intensive treatment. As long as you are open and committed to the process, it does not matter how long you have had symptoms.
