BETTER PAIN VR Case Study
This case study showcases the successful recovery of a 52-year-old male referred to EXPHYS on insurance claim. Following a motor vehicle accident and subsequent surgeries, the client presented with chronic pain and reduced function, leading to an inability to work. Through participation in the EXPHYS BETTER PAIN VR Program, encompassing immersive virtual reality pain science technology and coaching, the client demonstrated significant improvements in pain, functional ability, and overall mood, resulting in a full return to work.
