Most chronic pain patients will say they feel guilty when they have to rest.

Yet it's important to remember:
You only have a certain amount of energy right now, and you’re using all of it to survive. If it takes everything you have just to get through the day, it’s ok to rest. If you gave all the energy you had today, you gave it 100%. Stop criticizing yourself. It’s ok to just rest.

Bri's story of resilience.

Bri was a gymnast and had sprained her ankle so many times. Then an injury resulted in a severe sprain and a hairline fracture. The difference was this time it resulted in CRPS.

Bri went through a pediatric pain program. It got her more functional, but her pain level didn’t drop. She was seen at Mayo Clinic and had done so many different treatments without getting real relief.

The story probably sounds familiar. Bri went from a very active athlete and honor roll student - to not being able to attend school and isolating due to the pain.

Bri completed an Intensive with Holistic Centered Treatment. She started with a pain level of 9/10. Now, Bri is able to manage her pain. Depending on activities her pain will range from 0-2/10.

She transitioned from gymnastics to diving competitively.

43% of the patients we see at Holistic Centered Treatment are children and teens. We provide a caring and compassionate program that is individualized to meet each person's specific needs and goals.

Studies reveal - when you focus on the good, your brain rewires to look for more good. That's the magic of neuroplasticity.

Your brain is not fixed. It is constantly reshaping itself based on what you repeatedly think about. Our brain learns through repetition.

Focus on problems all day? Your brain then stregthens threat detection circuits. Focus on wins and gratitude? It stregthens reward and resilience pathways.

No, I am not inferring or stating that we call just think positive thoughts to get rid of CRPS or chronic pain. We all know that is not possible, but neuroplasticity is an important piece to help us get across the finish line.

With neuroplasticity - neurons that fire together, wire together. What you rehearse... you reinforce.

Gratitude activates dopamine, serotonin and prefrontal cortex regulation. That means better mood, clearer thinking, and stronger emotional control.

You aren't ignoring reality. Instead, you are training your brain to search for possibility instead of danger.

For the next 30 days: Every night, write down 3 specific good things that happened. Watch how your perception shifts.

Your brain becomes what it repeatedly scans for. Choose wisely. Practice neuroplasticity. Rewire your brain - rewire your life.

Liam: From Bed to Baseball

A typical sprain turned into complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Unable to attend school, couldn’t play baseball or ride his skateboard. CRPS was slowly taking away Liam's life and ambitions.

Liam was living with relentless pain, feeling overwhelmed, dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, isolation and insomnia.

It was a typical sprained ankle that had happened so many times before. This time it led to CRPS, and his doctors kept telling him he wouldn't be able to return to the life he wanted.

Scrambler therapy, ketamine, and intensive PT made his symptoms worse.

Liam completed a two-week Intensive at Holistic Centered Treatment where he saw daily progress that led to getting his life back!

This is what Liam had to say about his outcome. - “I am so happy to be able to live a normal life again. I was told I would never play baseball again. They were wrong. So, grateful.”

To change the paradigm with CRPS, we have to take a different approach. One of the big pieces that symptom-based treatments are not addressing is dysautonomia.

The dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system is a big part of CRPS. When the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is activated in what is commonly known as the “fight or flight” response, the hormones and neurotransmitters of adrenaline (also called epinephrine) and noradrenaline (also called norepinephrine) are released.

With CRPS, we consistently hear the term "fight or flight".

When our body is stuck in this state it then can cause vasomotor changes, coloration changes, temperature changes, edema, etc. And, in the long-term it can cause a dysregulation in the immune system.

Think about that. These are all symptoms that CRPS patients are living with. That is not a coincidence.

This is why it's important to address dysautonomia while treating the whole person.

Jaime was 15 years old when diagnosed with CRPS following a sports injury. She went from being an honor roll student and an athlete - to not being able to attend school and feeling like her life was over.

Jaime endured a pediatric pain program that left her with PTSD, ketamine infusions, years of PT, calmare scrambler therapy, and more. Nothing provided significant or lasting relief.

She started her Intensive with Holistic Centered Treatment with a pain level of 8-9/10. She made significant progress in office, and she was able to drop her pain to 3/10. Over the course of her 90-day home program she was able to get to a zero-pain level and get into remission.

She proved to so many that she could get back to a normal life. It is possible to gain remission and regain your life after a diagnosis of CRPS.

A new survey of Cleveland Clinic patients suggests that trauma is both highly prevalent and under-addressed in chronic pain care, leaving many patients without treatment that meaningfully addresses the intersection between traumatic experiences and chronic pain.

Researchers say the findings point to a significant gap in clinical practice and an opportunity for health systems to integrate trauma-responsive approaches into routine pain management.

The quality-improvement study, published in the September 2025 issue of Pain Medicine, analyzed responses from 702 adults with chronic primary pain who completed an anonymous electronic survey in 2022 and 2023.

Although all respondents had been treated recently for pain — through primary care, pain management, physical therapy or chiropractic care — the majority reported experiences that extended far beyond physical symptoms.

According to the study, 68.2% of patients said they had experienced at least one traumatic event, and almost one in five reported both trauma exposure and clinically significant trauma symptoms.

“Previous research has shown that pain and trauma tend to intensify each other, but what stood out in our data is just how common trauma is among patients seeking pain care,” explains lead author Hallie Tankha, PhD, a psychologist in the Center for Wellness Research and Training at Cleveland Clinic. “Despite this, pain clinics are not consistently screening for trauma or connecting patients with treatments that address both conditions.”

This is why Holistic Centered Treatment takes a whole body approach to treating CRPS and complex chronic pain.

This just emphasizes the importance treat addressing all aspects of chronic pain – physically, mentally and emotionally – all while individualizing the treatment to each person’s specific needs and goals.

On every call we take we are asked, "Why is your program going to be different than the treatments that have failed?"

First, when we look at most traditional treatments, they are symptom based. That is like throwing mud at a wall and hoping it will stick.

Then there is Ketamine which blocks the NMDA receptors. It's a potent anesthetic that works on these receptors, blocking them from firing, which decreases the pain. Ketamine infusions can provide meaningful pain relief lasting from 1 to 3 months for 20% to 65% of patients. As you can see it's not long lasting and requires boost treatments to stay at a low pain level.

Calmare Scrambler therapy is another go to that people ask about. Scrambler therapy helps with pain by using a device that delivers electrical stimulation through the skin to change the way you perceive pain. The therapy works by sending synthetic "non-pain" information to the brain, which can retrain the brain's response to pain signals. For most CRPS patients that get relief it's not long lasting.

Holistic Centered Treatment go beyond just treating symptoms. To effectively treat CRPS you must address the autonomic dysfunction, centralized pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, inflammation, PTSD or Trauma, and provide patients with the ability to have long term outcomes.

We believe in treating the whole person and individualizing a program to meet each person's specific needs and goals. This is how we are making a big difference and helping CRPS patients reach their goals and regain their lives.
