Nociplastic pain is pain that is associated with changes in the nervous system.

And while this type of pain is hard to classify and diagnose because there is no definitive diagnostic test for it, we can use information from various tests to help classify pain as nociplastic or not.

Here are 3 measurable signs of nociplastic changes:
increased brain activity on brain scans (fMRIs)
decreased tactile acuity
decreased pressure pain threshold

While these signs are measurable, they by themselves is not enough information to diagnose or classify.

Also, remember that you can have more than one classification of pain at once, although usually one will be the dominant one.

ABOUT ME:
I'm Alissa Wolfe.

I'm a doctor of physical therapy and chronic pain specialist. I help people who are fed up and frustrated with chronic pain retrain their nervous system so they can beat chronic pain and get their life back.

In other words, if you have chronic pain and are looking for a new and improved way to manage your pain with an approach based on neuroscience, I'm your girl.

I got out of the clinic and started my online chronic pain coaching business so I could provide that nervous system retraining piece that is missing from pain management in the health care system.

Empowering people with chronic pain is my calling. I wasn't okay knowing that my patient's with chronic pain had no one to turn to, no one who would help, and no one who would believe them.

I decided I would be that person, even if in the beginning I didn't know everything I needed to know to help them. I pushed myself to learn and I discovered that we were trying to treat the "tissue issue" when people with chronic pain have a nervous system "pain problem".

Changes in the nervous system were contributing to pain and yet no one was addressing those changes.

By adding this element of neuroscience and nervous system retraining to my treatment approach, clients and patients are getting better than ever.

If you like what you see so far, subscribe to my channel so you don't miss any of the neuroscience nuggets I'll be throwing your way.
