Why pain can persist even when nothing is “wrong”
Why does chronic pain sometimes continue long after an injury has healed? In this episode, Jeannie Kulwin explores the science behind chronic pain, neuroplasticity, and the mind-body connection, including how stress, fear, and emotions can influence the nervous system.
They also discuss why pain is always real, why scans don’t always explain persistent symptoms, and practical first steps that can help break the cycle of chronic pain. Whether you’re experiencing back pain, migraines, IBS, or other persistent symptoms, this conversation offers a hopeful new way to understand what may be happening in your body.
This is a great episode if you’re new to the mind-body approach and want an accessible introduction to why persistent symptoms happen and how recovery can begin.
