What are Neuroplastic Symptoms?
Neuroplastic pain and illness are not caused by structural damage or disease. Instead, symptoms result from physical changes in the brain’s nerve pathways. This can cause severe symptoms that often last for years. These are not explained well by diagnostic tests or do not improve as expected with medical treatment. Fortunately, new research has found a pathway to lasting relief from improved nervous system regulation and expanded understanding of your past or present life challenges.

ATNS Members can access many resources and discounts, but most importantly they help change medical practice so everyone with neuroplastic symptoms can receive the timely, evidence-based care they deserve.
Pain Science Paradigm Shift
Watch as the groundbreaking science of chronic pain (and other symptoms) is explained by scientists who did the research, clinicians who put it into practice, and patients who experienced the life-changing benefits.
New National
Study Findings
To make neuroplastic symptoms (NS) common knowledge, we must understand how many people experience them and what they believe about their pain or illness. ATNS partnered with research firm XandY on a national survey—and the results are revolutionary.

Neuroplastic Recovery Therapies Research
In patients with back pain for an average of 10 years, pain decreased by 75% after eight one-hour sessions of neuroplastic recovery therapy.
After an average of nine months of long Covid, neuroplastic recovery therapy led to a 77% decrease in pain interfering with activity.
In a study in Los Angeles of older male veterans with chronic pain, 67% achieved at least 30% pain relief with neuroplastic recovery therapy.
In a study at Harvard, of people with chronic back pain, 64% became pain-free after six months of neuroplastic recovery therapy.
