Yes, Dow, that's the kind of thing we talk about. The pain cycle can begin at any point and can be broken at any point; however, it might have to be re-broken repeatedly until it gets easier.

We talk about and teach a combination of lifestyle changes (diet/exercise), meds, relaxation and meditation techniques, among other things, to help break the cycle. Although it doesn't work on the neural pathways, I can see where the two techniques could work together.

Warm hugs,
