EMDR Therapy & Chronic Pain:   We experience pain for many reasons.  Usually pain is a signal that something is wrong physically which can start from an injury, medical condition, or traumatic experience.  Sometimes pain can continue longer than expected despite medical treatment.  The longer we experience pain, the more our brain activity becomes modified and the stronger the pain memories can become.  Pain is a problem that starts in our body and is maintained in our brain.  Pain can continue for many reasons including: fatigue, stress, and biochemical and neurological changes.  As a result of this the pain can become locked in the nervous system.  This can lead to repetitive firing of nerve cells and constant incoming pain signals to the brain even after the initial injury or cause of injury is no longer present.  EMDR Therapy can help unlock this process by disrupting the brain activity which is maintaining the pain and desensitizing stored memory pain associated with traumatic memories.
