  Join Ben as he dives into the world of neuroplastic pain!  "Neuroplastic pain is a type of chronic pain that occurs when the brain misinterprets safe signals from the body as dangerous. It's not imaginary, but it can be treated psychologically" Ben asks.......

Can neuroplastic pain rule out nociplastic pain & associated nociception?
