Your brain acts like a CEO deciding whether you're in danger, and if it thinks you are, it outputs pain. Pain comes from the brain's interpretation of threat, not just tissue damage. By retraining how your brain reads sensory signals, you can change its output and reduce pain.
You have to kind of teach people how pain works. It's like a big business, right? And the brain is the CEO and the brain's in charge of everything. The brain is in charge of what all input means, what you're going to do with it, and it gives you an output. If that output is pain or stiffness or immobility, dizziness, things like that, all negative stuff, that's your brain saying, I don't like what's happening here. This is unsafe. And as a result, it's giving you something to try and get you to stop doing what you're doing. So once we can establish that thought process, then we can start to do a deeper evaluation into what isn't working well. Are you getting the appropriate sensations interpreted correctly in your brain? So once we do those things, people really start to grasp the idea that, yeah, pain really is starting in my brain and If I do these other things that haven't been working well, then I can actually alleviate my pain once it knows better what's going on.
