Chronic Pain
The pain keeps coming back.
Something is maintaining it
that hasn't been found yet.
Chronic pain that persists after an injury has healed — or that appeared without a clear structural cause — is one of the most undertreated categories in conventional medicine. Not because providers don’t care, but because standard workups rarely investigate what’s actually sustaining the pain signal.
At One Tree, we look at the nervous system, inflammatory drivers, interference fields, and structural patterns that conventional imaging typically misses. The goal isn’t pain management — it’s understanding what’s keeping the pain alive.

“The pain keeps coming back. I’ve done the physical therapy, tried the medications. Something is maintaining it that no one has found.“
What It Is
Pain that outlasts its original cause.
Chronic pain is typically defined as pain lasting more than three months. But the more useful distinction is pain that persists after the original tissue injury has resolved — or pain that never had a clear structural cause to begin with.
In these cases, the pain signal has become somewhat independent of the original trigger. The nervous system has adapted in ways that keep the signal running — through sensitized nerve pathways, autonomic dysregulation, unresolved interference fields, or chronic inflammatory patterns that standard labs don’t detect.
It is not psychological. It is not exaggerated. It is a real physiological process — and one that has specific, investigable mechanisms.
Why It Persists
The gap in the standard workup.
Conventional pain management focuses primarily on symptom control — medications, injections, physical therapy, and surgical intervention where indicated. These are appropriate tools. But they don’t investigate the underlying drivers that keep the pain signal alive.
Standard imaging shows structural problems — herniated discs, joint damage, tears. It doesn’t show autonomic dysregulation, scar-tissue interference fields, systemic inflammation, or nervous system sensitization. These are among the most common reasons pain persists after structural issues have been addressed.
That’s the investigation One Tree is built for.
Our Approach
We follow the pain back to its source.
When someone comes to One Tree with chronic pain, the first question isn’t how to reduce the sensation — it’s what is sustaining the signal. That requires a different kind of investigation than a standard pain management workup.
We look at the nervous system architecture, the history of injuries and surgeries, the autonomic patterns, and the inflammatory environment — not just the site of pain. Because where it hurts and where the problem originates are often not the same location.

How We Treat It
Treatments we use for chronic pain.
No single treatment works for everyone. What we use depends entirely on what the investigation finds. These are the tools most commonly relevant for chronic pain at One Tree — each addressing a different part of what may be sustaining the signal.
Neural Therapy
Neural therapy uses precise injections of procaine to interrupt interference fields — areas of disrupted electrical activity in the nervous system caused by scars, old injuries, or chronic inflammation. These interference fields can sustain pain signals long after the original tissue has healed. Directly addressing them often produces rapid, lasting changes that physical therapy and medication alone cannot.
Biofeedback
The QUEX-ED biofeedback system reads the body’s electromagnetic responses to identify patterns of autonomic dysregulation contributing to chronic pain. It then applies targeted corrective signals. Particularly useful for fibromyalgia, widespread pain, and cases where the nervous system itself has become a driver rather than just a messenger.
Peptide Therapy
Specific peptides support tissue repair, reduce systemic inflammation, and modulate pain signaling at the cellular level. BPC-157 in particular has a strong clinical record for musculoskeletal pain, nerve repair, and gut-driven inflammation that contributes to heightened pain sensitivity.
Anti-Inflammatory Protocols
Chronic pain is almost always accompanied by — and often sustained by — systemic inflammation. We identify specific inflammatory drivers through advanced panels and address them through targeted nutritional protocols, gut health intervention, and hormonal optimization where relevant. Reducing the inflammatory load frequently reduces pain independent of any direct pain treatment.
What to Expect
From first call to actual answers.
Chronic pain cases typically have a long history behind them — multiple providers, multiple treatments, some that helped partially, most that didn’t hold. That history is clinically important. The intake process at One Tree is designed to capture it fully.
Free 40-Min Consultation
A direct conversation about your pain history — what you’ve been through, what’s been tried, and what hasn’t been investigated. Dr. Jamie PA-C, PhD will tell you honestly whether One Tree is likely to be useful for your situation.
Deep-Dive Intake (60+ min)
A full history covering onset, progression, prior injuries and surgeries, treatments tried, and current medications. This is where patterns start to emerge that shorter appointments miss.
Targeted Investigation
Functional labs, interference field assessment, autonomic testing, and biofeedback evaluation — chosen based on your specific history, not a standard checklist.
Your Individualized Plan
A protocol built around what we actually find. Most chronic pain plans at One Tree combine two or more of the treatment modalities above, sequenced in the order that makes clinical sense for your case.
Honest expectations
🕐
Chronic pain cases have typically been building for years. Meaningful improvement usually takes weeks to months, not days.
🔍
Not every case responds to every treatment. Dr. Jamie PA-C, PhD will adjust the protocol based on what’s actually happening.
🤝
You’ll know what’s being recommended and why at every step. No unexplained changes, no surprises.

“I had been in pain for four years. Two spine surgeons, a neurologist, and a pain clinic. Jamie found an interference field from an old surgery scar in the second appointment. Three neural therapy sessions later, the pain that had been constant for years was gone.”
