Based on the latest developments in neuroscience and validated by NIH-funded randomized controlled trials, OvidDx approaches neural circuit conditions through a biopsychosocial lens, in both theory and practice. OvidDx-certified practitioners are trained in the neuroscience, assessment, and treatment of centralized pain. This treatment emphasizes the importance of reducing perceived danger, increasing adaptive behaviors, and facilitating emotional processing. With this latest understanding of pain that gets to the root cause of these activated neural circuits, patients are empowered to make the necessary changes that reduce danger signals and alleviate chronic primary pain.
