The Flare-Up Fix is for you if:

• You’ve had chronic pain for months or years and body-based treatments (PT, chiropractic, injections, rest) have only provided temporary or partial relief.

• You notice that stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm affect your symptoms.

• You feel like your pain is impacting more than your body — it’s affecting your work, relationships, identity, confidence, and outlook on life.

• You’re tired of living around flare-ups and want tools to feel more in control.

• You’re curious about Pain Reprocessing Therapy or Dr. Sarno’s mind-body approach, but you’re not ready to commit to a full coaching program.

• You need practical guidance right now to:

  • Reduce fear around flare-ups

  • Stop canceling plans “just in case”

  • Feel less overwhelmed day-to-day

  • Begin rebuilding trust in your body

This course is especially helpful if you suspect your nervous system has become hypersensitive and you want a science-backed, structured introduction to mind-body medicine.

If you have structural findings or a chronic illness, this program does not replace medical care — but it can reduce the suffering amplified by stress, hypervigilance, and fear conditioning.

The Flare-Up Fix may not be a good fit if:

• You are looking for a purely structural or medical solution only.

• You are unwilling to consider the brain’s role in chronic pain.

• You feel highly resistant to learning about pain science or exploring how thoughts, stress, and coping patterns influence symptoms.

• You are currently in a medical emergency or require immediate medical evaluation.

This program requires openness, curiosity, and a willingness to experiment with new ways of responding to symptoms.

Wh

This is an important question.

Research shows that many common MRI findings are also present in people without pain.

For example:

• Studies have shown that over 50% of people in their 30s have disc bulges with no pain.

• The percentage increases with age.

• Degenerative disc changes are found in the majority of adults over 60 — many completely asymptomatic.

(Brinjikji et al., 2015, American Journal of Neuroradiology)

This means structural findings do not automatically equal pain.

It doesn’t mean the findings are fake.
It means they don’t always explain the full pain experience.

When pain becomes chronic, brain regions involved in emotion, learning, and threat detection become more active. The nervous system can become sensitized — amplifying symptoms beyond structural factors alone.

This course does not replace medical care.
It helps reduce the fear, hypervigilance, and stress responses that can intensify symptoms — even when structural findings are present.

No.

Flare-Up Fix is designed to complement medical care, not replace it.

If your pain is being maintained by nervous system hypersensitivity, addressing that component can make other treatments more effective.

Some people notice shifts in fear and flare-up intensity within days. For others, it builds gradually.

This is not a quick fix. It’s an education and skill-building process that begins retraining how your brain responds to symptoms.

Many people have tried meditation, journaling, or “thinking positive” without structure.

This course is grounded in Pain Reprocessing Therapy principles and neuroscience. It gives you specific guidance on when to regulate, when to observe, and how to respond to flare-ups strategically.

Each day takes approximately 20–30 minutes.

The lessons are designed to be practical and immediately applicable — not overwhelming.

Flare-Up Fix is designed for neuroplastic or mind-body symptoms such as:

• chronic back or neck pain

• fibromyalgia

• pelvic pain

• tension headaches

• IBS

• tinnitus

• unexplained facial pain

• stress-sensitive pain conditions

If stress or emotional intensity influences your symptoms, this approach may be helpful.

There is very little risk in learning.

At minimum, you will:

• understand your triggers more clearly

• reduce urgency around symptoms

• improve stress resilience
