  SUCH a great read. Parenting itself is hard enough, but throw chronic pain in the mix and it adds a WHOLE new level.

  It’s a challenge for sure! Especially when the child cannot grasp the concept easily.

Yesterday in the Chronic Pain group was an interesting post on Biofeedback therapy. In looking into it, I found something that seems a bit similar for chronic back pain. This was out of Stanford, which must warrant some merit. Does anybody have any familiarity with this Cognitive Behavioral…Read More

  AMYGDALA RETRAINING, nothing new, did nothing for me as well as a family member. If you don’t have the supportive and peaceful surroundings to do it, it is doomed to fail. Annies and Gupta systems were both purchased. It has helped many, and everything is worth a shot. Annies is a bit higher rated. Some pain is just unavoidable due to the nature…Read More

  Welcome! When I first joined, I was a bit nervous I’d accidentally set off a launch code clicking around, but it went so well, I recommend it 😉

How therapy, not pills, can nix chronic pain and change the brain

Researchers at the Intermountain Neuroimaging Consortium on the CU Boulder campus watch as a subject undergoes an fMRI bran scan. New research shows a psychological therapy can not only provide lasting relief from chronic pain but may also influence brain regions related to pain generation.

  I can’t believe I just realized we are about to kick off grilling season! I bought a fancy little Kamado Joe back in January and I’m in LOVE. What a helpful article.

  ugh, my dreaded season with the meat fumes-still gonna rock some BBQs though! 🙁 Always potluck, always! ALWAYS take the time to sit down and forget that nagging feeling you have to do it all. Everything always works out in the end.

My husband suffers from Chronic Pain due to Acute Osteo-Arthritis and degenerative disc disease. I have been researching TENS units and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  @lilbrightone I’d definitely ask his doctor first of course, but there are a LOT of highly-rated TENS units available on Amazon! I personally had a great experience using them in the past for my back and shoulder pain that I experienced after a car wreck. I hope that helps!

  If you have insurance it would be covered for sure but your options may more more limited. The one I have literally sitting in front of me at the moment is a POHAKU model AS8012 -I do like it, it’s small, portable, gives you options of pad sizes and a huge array of settings for pulses as well as low to high strength and timer. It’s small,…Read More

    Red light therapy is one thing that has helped me heal to the point where I am currently (far from wonderful but I’m no longer bed bound) . It has been eons but at PT they used it and it felt like it was the most effective treatment for my pain at the time. I’m sure they have home devices either OTC or even a prescription and insurance route would…Read More

  Don’t forget stretching. I have the same plus djd. I like dry needling. It really helps with the pain in the muscles and better movement. Also help with sciatica.
