Chronic Pain is a huge problem for many people. Once initated a chronic pain cycle can be extremely difficult to break. Many people suffer for years, attend several medical and alternative practitioners and frequently begin to feel that others do not fully believe them regarding the extent of their pain.

"It's in your head" - Of course it's in your head! Your brain is in your head and so all pain is perceived in your head. The origin of your pain, however, is very real and originated in some structure within your body.

In the clinic we will look for all possible sources of your pain, determine the underlying causes and treat globally to relieve you of your symptoms.

We will explain the nature of chronic pain, and how the nerves and brain react to ongoing pain, and how this in turn presents itself in your body
