Why does pain sometimes stay long after the injury is gone?
In this eye-opening episode, host Kiana Agosto sits down with Dr. Christopher Sletten, Director of the Pain Rehabilitation Center at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, to break down one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern medicine — Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS).
Dr. Sletten explains how the nervous system can get “stuck on high alert,” why symptoms often spread or linger even without new injury, and how understanding the brain’s role in pain can lead to real relief.
From chronic pain and fatigue to digestive issues, dizziness, and more — this conversation uncovers the truth about what’s happening inside the body and the brain … and how you can begin to take your power back.
💬 What you’ll learn:
• What Central Sensitization Syndrome really is — and why it’s not “all in your head.”
• How the brain’s sensory map keeps the pain signal switched on.
• Why healing requires a top-down approach that includes mind and body.
• Steps providers and patients can take to start retraining the nervous system.
