How the mindset of elite athletes and scrambler therapy align to help patients conquer chronic nerve pain—without drugs or surgery.
Last week, Calmare NJ USA had the privilege of hosting George Mumford—author, mindfulness teacher, and legendary professional athlete performance coach. George met with Dr. Jason Cooney, Clinical Director of Scrambler Therapy NJ USA, for a meaningful exchange about the role of mindfulness, mental resilience, and neuroplasticity in overcoming adversity—including chronic pain.
Mr. Mumford, whose loved one was receiving treatment with us, has worked with elite athletes and NBA legends, including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and the championship-winning Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers.
A former athlete himself, he turned to mindfulness to overcome personal adversity and has since taught the power of meditation and mindfulness to teams, corporations and corporate leaders around the world.
“Learning ways to cultivate calm, even when the body is in physical distress, is a powerful step toward reclaiming control of your pain, your body and your quality of life,” Mumford explained.
The Mindful Athlete and the Chronic Pain Connection
Mumford’s acclaimed book, The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance, reveals how mental training and inner awareness can be just as critical to healing and peak performance as physical treatments.
For people living with treatment-resistant neuropathy—from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy to CRPS—this philosophy can be deeply beneficial. Chronic pain can hijack the nervous system, increase stress levels, and limit quality of life.
Retraining the Brain: How Scrambler Therapy Supports Drug-Free Recovery
Scrambler therapy is a complementary partner to this mindset—it also retrains the brain’s pain perception by scrambling the brain’s misfiring pain messages. Just as athletes work with George to shift their mental narrative around performance, Dr. Cooney uses the FDA-cleared technology to shift the brain’s interpretation of chronic pain—without medication or invasive procedures.
Both methods tap into the body’s natural ability to rewire, restore and recover.
