How it works
Reduces the emotional amplification of pain signals via prefrontal regulation of amygdala and insula hyperreactivity. Builds psychological flexibility and acceptance of unavoidable pain.
Mindfulness does not eliminate neuropathic pain — it reduces suffering. Most effective for chronic neuralgias where pain is ongoing despite optimised pharmacological management.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
