How Our Approach Works: Pain Psychology Treatment at Menda Health

Chronic pain is a complex experience shaped by both physical and psychological factors. At Menda Health, our approach to pain psychology treatment is designed to address the full spectrum of pain’s impact, helping individuals reclaim their lives through evidence-based, virtual care.


The Three-Legged Stool of Pain Management














We believe effective pain management requires a comprehensive approach—combining medical interventions, physical therapy, and pain psychology. By integrating psychological care from the outset, we help patients address not just the physical, but also the emotional and behavioral aspects of pain, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life1.


Conditions That Can Be Helped

Menda Health’s pain psychology treatment is effective for a wide range of persistent pain conditions, especially when symptoms have lasted more than six months and no severe structural cause (like infections, tumors, or auto-immune disease) is present. Conditions that can benefit include4:

  • Low back and neck pain

  • Joint pain

  • Migraines

  • Tension headaches

  • Repetitive strain injuries

  • Abdominal pain and digestive disorders (including IBS)

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Nerve pain

  • Muscle pain

  • Chronic pain syndrome

  • Other persistent pain conditions without a clear structural cause

If you’re unsure whether your condition qualifies, our team can help you determine if pain psychology is a good fit during your initial consultation.


How Our Program Works

  1. A Quick, Free Call: Start with a confidential call to discuss your symptoms and ask questions. Our team will help you understand the program and what to expect4.

  2. Meet Your Therapist: You’ll be matched with a licensed clinician trained in pain psychology, who will develop a personalized recovery plan with you4.

  3. Follow a Recovery Plan: Attend weekly virtual sessions (individual or group) and use the Menda app for guided practices and ongoing support between sessions4.


Evidence-Based Psychological Techniques

Our therapists use a blend of proven methods, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Mindfulness-based techniques

  • Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

These approaches retrain the brain and nervous system, helping reduce pain intensity, improve coping skills, and restore function13.


Why Our Approach Works

  • Addresses the Whole Person: We treat both mind and body, recognizing that psychological factors can amplify or diminish pain13.

  • Empowers Patients: Practical skills and strategies help patients manage pain, reduce fear, and return to meaningful activities.

  • Accessible and Flexible: Virtual care removes barriers, making specialized pain psychology available to more people4.


A New Path Forward

Menda Health’s integrated, virtual pain psychology program offers new hope for those living with persistent pain—including conditions that have not responded to traditional medical treatments. If you’re ready to explore a new approach to pain, our team is here to support your journey every step of the way4.
