What if one of your most powerful pain tools is something you’re already doing? All day long...We’re talking about breathing.

And not the shallow, stressed-out chest breathing most of us do. But slow, deep breathing that actually tells your nervous system, “You’re safe.”

When we live with chronic pain, our bodies often stay stuck in fight-or-flight mode. That shallow breathing increases muscle tension, anxiety, headaches, neck pain, and yes, even more pain.

But the good news is you can interrupt that cycle in under a minute.

You don’t need equipment. You don’t need an appointment. You just need one intentional breath.

Read our latest blog for an easy breathing technique you can try anywhere:

Reduce stress and pain with diaphragmatic breathing. Learn how deep breathing improves oxygen flow, eases tension, and supports pain relief.

Living with fibromyalgia can feel like a constant balancing act between pain and energy, activity and recovery, hope and frustration.

Our new Fibromyalgia Guide is designed to help you build small, repeatable skills that calm your nervous system and make daily life a little steadier.

Inside, you’ll learn:
• How pacing and gentle boundaries prevent “push–crash” cycles
• Why self‑compassion is a real pain‑management skill
• Simple breathing techniques to calm fight‑or‑flight responses
• Practical ways to say “no” and “yes” on purpose so your energy goes where it matters most

Fibromyalgia may still be part of your life, but it doesn’t have to define every part of it.

Being told “you’re fine” when you’re still in pain doesn’t feel fine.

Your pain is real.

Sometimes, the nervous system stays on high alert, even after the body has healed, continuing to send pain signals. That’s not imagined. It’s something that can be addressed.

We take a whole-person approach to help you calm the system, rebuild trust in your body, and move forward.

If you live with chronic back pain, you may have tried injections, surgeries, new pillows, or endless stretches...and still hurt. It’s frustrating, isolating, and can make you feel like nothing will ever change.​

Chronic back pain is often influenced by multiple factors at once: muscles and joints, sleep, stress, mood, past injuries, and how your brain processes danger and safety signals.​

Override’s virtual program brings together pain medicine, physical therapy, psychology, and coaching to address all of these factors in one coordinated plan, without relying on opioids.​​

You can meet your team from home and get a personalized plan for movement, pacing, flare-up management, and nervous system calming, at a pace your body can handle.​​

Proud to share that Override's Medical Director, Dr. Christina Le-Short, was featured in Flow Space Magazine discussing what lupus patients wish they'd known earlier about managing their condition.

Dr. Le-Short emphasizes the importance of early education: "Many patients who have been diagnosed with lupus say they wish someone explained early on that managing lupus and living with it is a marathon, not a sprint."

The article highlights Override's approach to chronic disease management:
• Treating the whole person, not symptoms in isolation
• Early prevention strategies that protect long-term function
• Coordinated care that addresses pain, sleep, movement, and mental health

"We want to pair medication management with education, lifestyle support, and coordinated care across multiple specialties," Dr. Le-Short shares.

For providers looking to support patients with lupus and other chronic pain conditions, Override offers virtual, interdisciplinary care teams that extend your practice.

Chronic pain is not “all in your head,” but your brain and nervous system do play a powerful role in how you experience pain. That’s where Override’s chronic pain coaching program comes in.​

Coaches help you understand pain science, manage flare-ups, and build new habits around movement, sleep, stress, and nutrition, one small step at a time.​

Your coach is part of your broader Override care team (physician, PT, psychologist), so everyone is on the same page and your story doesn’t get lost.​​

If you’re tired of trying to “push through” on your own, talk to our team about how coaching can become part of your pain toolbox.

For 13 years, Christy lived on pain medication.

But what she truly wanted wasn’t another prescription.

After years of chronic pain, countless opinions, and feeling dismissed or misunderstood, she kept telling her doctor, “I just need someone to talk to… someone who understands how to live with chronic pain.”

If you’ve felt unheard, labeled, or stuck in the cycle of medication without real support, Christy story will resonate with you.

You’ve probably heard that “food is medicine,” but what does that actually mean when you live with chronic pain day in and day out?

Living with chronic pain can make even basic self-care feel overwhelming, and that includes nutrition. You don’t have to overhaul your entire diet overnight for it to help your pain though.

​Simple shifts like adding more colorful fruits and veggies, staying hydrated, and choosing fewer ultra-processed foods can support energy, mood, and sleep, which all influence pain.​

With Override, nutrition is part of a bigger pain plan that can also include pain medicine, physical therapy, psychology, and coaching, all virtually, from home.​​
