Back pain, sciatica, neck and shoulder pain, and joint pain all show up for different reasons, a disc problem, a nerve issue, arthritis, an old injury, or sometimes no single clear cause at all. What they share is this: when pain sticks around, there’s usually more to the story than the spot where it hurts.

When you’ve lived with pain in your back, neck, or joints for months, it can start affecting much more than the area that hurts.
Pain can change how you move. How you sleep. How you work. What you avoid. How confident you feel doing the things you used to do without thinking twice.
That’s why Override doesn’t treat back, neck, or joint pain as only a body-part problem.
We look at the whole pain experience and build a personalized plan around your symptoms, history, goals, and the factors that may be contributing to your pain.
You may have already seen a doctor. Tried physical therapy. Taken medication. Had an injection. Maybe something helped for a while. Maybe nothing did.
Override isn’t about asking one more treatment to solve every part of a complex pain experience.
It’s about bringing the right care together.
Depending on your needs, your personalized care plan may include:
Pain specialists trained in pain neuroscience and non-opioid chronic pain management who can oversee your care plan and adjust medications when appropriate.
Movement specialists trained in chronic pain who help you build strength, mobility, function, and confidence in movement, matched to your specific condition.
Pain-focused therapists who help address the stress, fear of movement, and frustration that can build up around persistent pain.
Certified pain coaches help you turn what you’re learning into everyday habits, work toward meaningful goals, and stay supported between visits.
Your care is personalized to you. You may not need every service. The difference is that your providers can work together as one team, with one shared understanding of your pain and your goals.

Override may be a good fit if:
Your pain has lasted three months or longer
Your pain keeps returning or interfering with your daily life
You’ve tried treatments, medications, physical therapy, or injections without enough relief
Pain is affecting your movement, sleep, work, mood, or the things you want to do
You feel like you’ve been treating individual symptoms without looking at the bigger picture
You’re looking for a more comprehensive approach to managing chronic pain
Override isn’t emergency or acute injury care. If your pain is new, follows a serious injury, or comes with symptoms such as new loss of bowel or bladder control, numbness around the groin or saddle area, or severe or rapidly worsening weakness, seek appropriate in-person medical care.
Where the pain is, how it started, and what makes it better or worse are all useful clues, but a proper assessment is the most reliable way to identify what’s actually driving your symptoms. Our care team can help you sort through overlapping conditions like sciatica, joint pain, and back pain.
Yes. Back pain, hip pain, and joint pain frequently overlap or influence each other, which is part of why a whole-person assessment matters more than treating one symptom in isolation.
Surgery is uncommon across most of these conditions and typically considered only for specific structural issues that haven’t responded to a meaningful trial of conservative care.
Override is designed to work with insurance. Our team can help you understand your specific coverage before you get started.
