Clegg Solutions
Clegg Solutions LLC's mission is to alleviate a very treatable epidemic, chronic pain. FMRI images reveal emotional pain activates the same part of the brain as physical pain. Research suggests the majority of chronic pain is caused by stress and/or anxiety, and can be reversed. However, when most people experience pain they assume something is physically wrong and get trapped in a pain-fear-pain cycle.
Clegg Solutions aspires to help individuals understand the true source of their pain and provide support so they can be pain-free. Clegg Solutions' mind-body approach utilizes cutting-edge neuroscience research to rewire the brain, so pain is no longer processed.
Am I a Candidate?
Research indicates there are two different types of pain:
-
Physical Injury: Damage to bones, muscles, tendons, or other body parts. Research indicates that all injuries heal, thus, physical injuries are rarely the source of lifelong pain.
-
Neuroplastic or learned pain: This occurs when our brains are tricked and people perceive pain despite no structural damage. This pain typically surfaces when individuals live with chronic stress or experience a traumatic event. It also can occur when people believe they have an injury, or that their previous injury never healed.
​
How do I know if my injury is neuroplastic plain or due to a physical injury?
If you answer yes to any of the following questions, it's likely that your pain is due to neuroplastic pain.
​
-
Did it start without a physical injury?
-
Does it get worse during times of stress?
-
Does it go away while engaging in a fun activity?
-
Is it triggered by light or a change in temperature?
-
Does it only occur at specific times of day (i.e., morning or night)?
-
Does pain occur when asked about your symptoms or when you imagine engaging in a triggering activity?
-
Is your pain inconsistent or shift periodically from one body part to another?​​

About Nick Clegg
Nick Clegg is a Nationally Certified School Psychologist and Educational Consultant with over a decade of experience practicing within Champaign schools. He launched the Mind-Body Intervention in schools and has helped students rid years of migraines, back pain, insomnia, heart palpitations, and more symptoms.
In 2023, Nick founded Clegg Solutions. Since its inception, he has helped students and adults overcome chronic pain and has provided presentations to the community.
How Nick became a chronic pain expert:
Nick suffered from chronic foot and back pain for years. He was told that he would always feel pain and that he should never walk barefoot again. Multiple surgeries and medications (for an undetectable autoimmune disorder and nerve pain) were recommended. Fortunately, his friend shared a book that she received from Northwestern University's Pain Management Clinic. This book, along with others, helped Nick develop a system to cure chronic pain. Nick does not take any medication and has been pain free for over a year. He runs, plays basketball, and walks barefoot.
