Prevention of Central Sensitization (Chronic Pain)

Untreated symptoms can cause the nervous system to “rewire” and become too sensitive—called central sensitization. This leads to chronic pain that’s harder to manage.

By managing symptoms early—pain, fatigue, mouth sores—we help prevent long-term nerve overreaction and suffering.
