Expert care for nerve & chronic pain in Leander

Pain that lasts for months—or that seems out of proportion to the original injury—often involves a sensitized nervous system. Conditions like CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome), fibromyalgia, and persistent nerve pain respond best to a patient, graded approach. We combine gentle hands-on care, nerve mobility work, pain-science education, and carefully paced activity to calm the nervous system, reduce sensitivity, and help you gradually return to the things you have been avoiding.
