Neuroplastic Transformation Program: Laying the Foundation - A Physician Guided Series
Our objective is to help individuals suffering with persistent pain, their caretakers and their treating practitioners to learn how to utilize the Neuroplastic Transformation Program as part of a comprehensive treatment program. The ultimate goal of the Neuroplastic Transformation Program is to develop multiple strategies to reduce pain with pleasure, allowing individuals to restore and transform their lives. Dr. Golden and Dr. Moskowitz worked together to develop neuroplastic treatment approaches in each of their practices for several years. They have used these approaches with their patients and have incorporated them as the core treatment for patients with persistent pain. Both are board certified in Pain Medicine by the American Board of Pain Medicine. Their approach acknowledges the role of neuroplastic change in the process of persistent pain. The program utilizes neuroplasticity to reverse the process of persistent pain. The Neuroplastic Transformation Program is designed to be the basis for all treatment approaches. Although current treatment approaches can be effective, there is a lack of a cohesive core to treatment. The disease of persistent pain is a dynamic neuroplastic process. All successful treatment approaches must be as dynamic and with the intention to create neuroplastic change that will break up and eradicate the pain. Incorporating treatment approaches utilizing neuroplasticity techniques is the way to treat persistent pain. Dr. Golden and Dr. Moskowitz have dedicated themselves to the development and promotion of neuroplastic treatment approaches to reverse persistent pain and return the body and brain to normal function.
NEUROPLASTIC TRANSFORMATION WORKBOOK
*Now Available as an E-Book*
The Neuroplastic Transformation Workbook presents a revolutionary treatment for the millions of people suffering with the disease of persistent pain. The authors have developed an innovative approach to reverse runaway pain by harnessing the brain's amazing neuroplastic ability to heal the body. The program presented in this workbook applies the discoveries of cutting edge research in the fields of Pain Medicine, Neurology, Immunology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience to help people transition from a life of chronic pain to a life of health and wellness. The book can be used independently or as a tool for an interactive partnership between practitioner and patient. Although it has been designed to work with the Workbook section of the neuroplastix.com website. It is also an excellent standalone guide. It can be used by practitioners with their patients or as an independent guide for people living with persistent pain, their families, friends and other interested parties.
PATIENT BASED WEBINARS
01
INTRODUCTORY WEBINAR: Neuroplastic Transformation Program: Laying the Foundation
This introductory webinar "Neuroplastic Transformation Program: Laying the Foundation" is part of a collaborative physician guided series. It will provide an overview of the Neuroplastic Transformation Program's key techniques developed by Michael H. Moskowitz, MD and Marla D. Golden, DO. During the first webinar, Dr. Golden and Dr. Moskowitz will provide attendees with background on how the Neuroplastic Transformation Program started; discuss the basic tenets of the Neuroplastic Transformation Program necessary to achieve success; review the Neuroplastix Poster; and ask attendees to submit questions to be answered in a Question and Answer session at the next monthly webinar.
02
WEBINAR ONE: Basic tenets of the Neuroplastic Transformation Program, R.A.F.T., M.I.R.R.O.R. and N.O.R.M.A.L., in more detail as well as the utilization of Thoughts, Beliefs and Ideas about Pain and "The Scent Circuit."
This webinar "Neuroplastic Transformation Program: Laying the Foundation - Part One" is the first of a collaborative physician guided four part series. In this webinar, Michael H. Moskowitz, MD and Marla D. Golden, DO will describe and discuss the basic tenets of the Neuroplastic Transformation Program, R.A.F.T., M.I.R.R.O.R. and N.O.R.M.A.L., in more detail as well as the utilization of Thoughts, Beliefs and Ideas about Pain and "The Scent Circuit."
03
WEBINAR TWO: Sound and vibration, active vs passive treatment, paradigm shift of patient and practitioner, empathy, altruism and mirror neurons
In Webinar Part Two, Dr. Golden and Dr. Moskowitz will discuss the neuroplastic technique of using sound and vibration to wire away from persistent pain. They will also discuss the concept of active and passive treatment emphasizing the paradigm shift of the patient and the practitioner, together, as they move through the Neuroplastic Transformation Program. Finally, they will discuss empathy and altruism in relationship to the role of mirror neurons.
04
WEBINAR THREE: Touch, Connective Tissue System/Extracellular Network, Brain-Body Loop, social interactions, relationships and culture
In Webinar Part Three, Doctors Golden and Moskowitz will discuss the magnificent neuroplastic engine of touch. They will discuss the elements of the connective tissue system and the cells within it that create the brain body loop with similar cells in the nervous system to explain the process of persistent pain. Utilizing touch as a neuroplastic technique can create dramatic changes in the reversal of persistent pain. These techniques will be discussed at length. Recognizing the importance of connection within our world, we will move beyond the connectivity within us and discuss the importance of social interaction, relationships and cultural experiences as part of a 'Neuroplastic Transformation.'
05
WEBINAR FOUR: Fascia, movement, visual sensory system, persistent pleasure as a cure for persistent pain
In Webinar four, Doctors Golden and Moskowitz will recap the importance of the fascia and its critical role with respect to the neuroplasticity of movement. The program will continue with a description of the visual sensory system and focus on the importance of the visual cortex, the stages of visual brain activity and uses of visualization for pain control. To conclude the program, we will discuss the ultimate goal of experiencing pleasure as the neuroplastic antidote to pain.
