Can Unexplained Chronic Pain Be Linked to Grief, Trauma, and Stress?

What if your persistent unexplained chronic pain or illness isn't just physical? Neuroplastic symptoms describe chronic pain or illness that defies conventional medical explanations, and Dr. David D. Clarke, a pioneering expert in neuroplastic symptoms and mind-body healing, has dedicated his career to uncovering the profound links between stress, grief, trauma, and physical symptoms. As President of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Gastroenterology and Americans at Oregon Health and Science University, Dr. Clarke shares invaluable insights on common neuroplastic conditions, personal traits linked to these symptoms, and how they can be effectively diagnosed and treated, offering hope and highlighting the possibility of healing for those struggling with chronic pain or illness who have been told "they can't find anything wrong."
