Your Journey Starts Now...
What makes the DOC Journey different?
The DOC Journey is a collection of resources that provides information, tools, strategies and support that enables you to develop a game plan around your unique set of issues and circumstances.
As it’s a largely self-directed process, you can then create partnerships with your medical providers to solve your pain.

Connect with your capacity to heal
The essence of solving chronic pain is learning how to manage your body’s responses to threat. Threats, whether physical or mental, fire up your body’s defenses. When this is sustained, physical tissue damage occurs, which feeds the cycle. By learning skills to lower your body’s stress chemicals, dampen the inflammatory response, and return your body to a relaxed state – when you choose – you can optimize your body’s physiology and your pain levels will drop or disappear. When symptoms return, you have the skills to eliminate it.
Why traditional treatments don't work
Chronic pain has traditionally been defined as “pain that lasts longer than the expected healing time,” but recent research redefines the nature of chronic pain as a neurochemical issue. When pain impulses are fired at the brain, they create neural circuits. With enough repetition, these circuits are memorized and become permanent; they keep your body in a state of high alert. Because of this, interventions focused solely on anatomy and structure cannot and will not work.
