What I Treat

Chronic Pain Relief

Person experiencing chronic pain

If you’ve been told “there’s nothing more we can do to help you,” don’t believe it. If you feel you’ve tried it all but your pain persists — this page is for you.

Chronic pain is a diagnosis I love to treat — mostly so I can experience the satisfaction of victory over a long battle where pain has been winning for too long! Personal experience as well as many continuing education courses have made me well-versed in how to manage chronic pain symptoms. The longer a patient has had the symptoms, the more satisfaction I get from having success in relieving them.

Why chronic pain is different — and why my approach works

Chronic pain and CRPS both involve your nervous system acting in a heightened, irritable state. In the case of chronic pain and fibromyalgia, there are often nerve entrapments from myofascial restriction contributing to the pain.

CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) stems from a combination of problems after injury or surgery and involves many systems. Swelling, changes in skin color, sweating, temperature changes, and hypersensitivity to touch — even blowing air or a sheet over the area can be intolerable — are all possible symptoms of this condition. Immune system dysfunction, poor nerve health, and even your genetics can play a role. Nourishing movement, breathing techniques, and manual techniques can help!

The difference in your treatment: With 30+ years of clinical experience, I don’t chase symptoms — I look at your whole body and nervous system to find what’s actually driving the pain, then use gentle manual therapy, nourishing movement, and breathing techniques to calm the system down and get you moving again.

“I have suffered from asthma and fibromyalgia for over 30 years, and Carolyn has me feeling so good, I never thought I would feel this good again! I was able to walk and be up on my feet all day at a horse show last weekend. Neither my friends, nor myself, could believe it!” — Karen B.
