Pain relief, reinvented.

According to the CDC, an estimated 50 million adults in the United States experience chronic pain (pain lasting >3 months). Of these, an estimated 18 million people experience high-impact chronic pain – the type of pain that really restricts daily activities. 

This type of chronic pain not only affects daily life, but also has been linked with depression, Alzheimer’s disease, other types of dementia, higher suicide risk and substance abuse. Opioid misuse and related problems has become one of the most devastating public health crises of recent times, with approximately 11 million people reporting past-year prescription reliever misuse.

What if there was a way to rapidly treat chronic pain without requiring drugs at all?

What if there was a way to get much more out of your physical therapist and chiropractor sessions?

What if there was a way to avoid unnecessary surgery completely?

Well now there is.

And it harnesses the natural resources of your body to heal itself – with a little nudge from our specialists.

How it works.

A PerryWork practitioner first works to understand your experience of chronic pain and to identify the tight bands of dermis, fascia and muscle tissue in your body where the pain originates. These tight bands - which you can feel yourself - trap nerves, causing the pain that you feel. But they also also trap blood vessels, preventing the body repairing itself the natural way through good blood flow. 

The Perrywork practitioner uses a specialized pressure device to identify the points on your skin where the pain is greatest, giving a pattern of ‘dots’ on the surface of your skin. These are similar to ‘trigger points’ used in acupuncture and other disciplines.

The PerryWork practitioner then injects each of the dots with a mixture of saline and local anesthetic, using the needle and the liquid in combination to separate the tight bands in your tissue. Once the tissues are separated by the needle and the saline, blood can rush into the areas affected underneath your skin. Arterial blood contains special cells called ‘phages’ that quickly repair the damage caused over months and years – and your body’s lymph system does the rest. It’s natural healing at its best.

For most chronic pain cases, the problem can be resolved in a short number of sessions, with relief coming within minutes of the first session. It’s progress that you can see and feel straight away. See the testimonials from our patients here. The technique has been used to treat a wide range of chronic pain conditions listed for you here.

The PerryWork method was developed and refined by Michael Perry CRNA in Omaha Nebraska over the last 30 years. Michael belongs to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists and has been an active member of the American Academy of Pain Management since 1994. In September of 2014 he was awarded Pain Practitioner of the Year at the PAINWeek national conference. Michael has over 1,400 hours of continued education in pain management over the past 20 years, and has treated tens of thousands of patients in that time.
