Less Pain, More Gain

Your trusted source of HOPE - Help to Overcome Pain Effectively

How We Help

We Coach You Out of The Clutches of Chronic Pain and Into Achieving Your Personal, Health, Relational, and Career or Business Goals, for a More Meaningful and Satisfying Life.

Less Pain

Are you tired of going from doctor to doctor seeking more permanent pain relief, or at least safer ways to manage your pain than multiple surgeries, injections, or medications? Have you felt accused of inventing your pain or told that it is all in your head? Have you been told, "Sorry, there's nothing else I can do for your pain. You just need to learn to live with it."? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, Behavioral Pain Medicine may be the answer. Since 2002, we have helped over 5000 individuals to overcome their pain and resume normal lives, as much as possible. We would be delighted to help you too!

More Gain

The roadmap we have to guide you in your recovery includes the following steps: 1) evaluating thoroughly your pain and personal history, 2) establishing together your initial pain recovery goals, 3) helping you to learn and apply cutting-edge neurobehavioral pain recovery techniques successfully, 4) assisting you to regain a general sense of control over your life, your new normal so to speak, 5) establishing together and achieving additional 'recovery' and also 'conquering' goals, in the most important areas of your life for you: health, relationships, education, career, business, or overall sense of purpose and personal satisfaction.
