Neurological plasticity, also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is the brain's ability to change its structure and function in response to stimuli. In layman’s terms: this means that our brains have the capacity to rewire themselves, shifting major aspects of our mindset, and our lived experience. It’s nothing short of amazing, just like it sounds.

For chronic pain sufferers - from back pain, to neck pain, and headaches - care providers can help identify psychophysiologic processes that can be reversed through neuroplasticity, providing relief that for many once felt impossible. And it’s not just the outcomes that feel miraculous, the reality is that we as individuals have the power to increase our neuroplasticity in practical and fulfilling ways.

Research shows that enriched environments – think travel, learning a new language, reading before bed, getting good sleep – can lead to greater dendritic growth, especially in the hippocampus. Dendrites are the growths at the end of neurons that help transmit information from one neuron to the next. When we strengthen these connections, we encourage greater brain plasticity. In this dialogue, join world-renowned experts across medicine, academia, nutrition, psychiatry and psychotherapy, as we unpack the science behind shifting consciousness, and walk away with clear actions and habits that you can implement to rewire the way you think, feel and interact with the world around you.
