NeuroBehavioral Pain Management Program (NBP)
Flip the Switch on Your Pain
Imagine turning off your pain as easily and automatically as flipping off a light switch, reversing months – even years – of debilitating pain and getting your life back. The NeuroBehavioral Pain Management Program (NBP) teaches people with chronic pain to do just that by using simple word commands instead of medication.
More than 90 percent of Hill Physicians patients who have tried this clinically proven program experience at least short-term pain relief during the first session. Further training and practice can make pain-free or reduced-pain periods last longer. Beyond addressing the symptom of pain, the program teaches people how to manage stress and reduce the feelings of anger, disappointment and fear that naturally come with chronic pain. Participants also learn to boost positive emotions to restore a healthy outlook on life.
People who have completed the NBP program report experiencing less pain, improved stress management ability, fewer pain management procedures, fewer pain-related doctor’s visits and high satisfaction with the program.
Hill Physicians members sum up their success with NBP in these ways:
"NBP hasn’t just helped me reduce my pain – I now have relief for up to 72 hours at a time – but I’ve also learned how to be more positive and have better peace of mind. I now look forward to the future instead of worrying about it."
"This program is so powerful it's life changing."
