If you find that you need more than the free and low-cost alternatives that are available, you can also consult the practitioner directories at the [[Practitioner Directory|PRT Wiki]], the [https://www.painreprocessingtherapy.com/directory-of-practitioners PRT Center] (which trains PRT practitioners), the [https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Find_a_TMS_Doctor_or_Therapist TMS Wiki] (our sister-site), or the [https://ppdassociation.org/directory-disclaimer PPD Association] (a nonprofit focusing on a broader range of mind-body related to PRT). You may also contact the [https://www.painpsychologycenter.com/ Pain Psychology Center], founded by the inventor of PRT, but there is a waiting list.

== Some factors to consider ==
Some things to consider when deciding whether or nor not you have neuroplastic pain:
# Your pain has lasted longer than 8 weeks. Your body typically takes about 6 weeks to heal tissue damage. If it has lasted longer than this, something else is likely the cause.
# Your pain changes in intensity. Structural or tissue damage doesn’t change in intensity.
# You hurt at specific times of day or your pain comes and goes. Structural pain is constant.
# Your pain goes away on weekends and during vacations but gets worse on Sunday nights or after a tough day at work.
# Your pain flares when you are angry, sad or anxious.
# You have IBS, headaches or acid reflux. These often occur with brain generated pain.
# Your pain moves or spreads.
# Your scans and x-rays look normal for a person your age and activity level.
# Conventional treatments don’t seem to help you.
