The term arthritis covers many different conditions (over 100 of them), which fall into two categories: osteoarthritis (OA) and inflammatory arthritis (IA). OA is the most common type of arthritis, and occurs when the cartilage between bones wears down, causing bones to become less protected (2).
IA, in contrast, occurs when joint inflammation is caused by the immune system, rather than mechanical wearing down of cartilage. Common types of IA include: Rheumatoid arthritis - A disease that occurs when the immune system attacks its own tissues, including membranes that are found in the joints. Ankylosing spondylitis - Arthritis of the spine that can cause spinal bones to fuse.
Gout - A condition where extra uric acid (a bodily waste product) turns into hard crystals that accumulate in the joints causing pain (usually in the joint of the big toe).
Psoriatic arthritis - A disease that causes inflammation of both the joints and skin.
People with arthritis typically experience pain, stiffness, and swelling in their hips, knees, hands, and/or spine, although other parts of the body can also be affected.
First of all, it is important to understand that osteoarthritis is universal. From our early 20’s and until we die, cartilage wear-down occurs in the joints of every human being.
However, these structural changes are not predictors of pain. Osteoarthritis is best thought of as “wrinkles on the inside”: normal, non-dangerous changes in the joints that occur over a person’s lifespan, which are not inherently painful. In fact, some people have advanced osteoarthritis, but little-to-no pain; others have mild osteoarthritis, but extreme joint pain.
The same is true for inflammatory arthritis: some people with IA experience little-to-no pain, while others experience extreme pain. Furthermore, though people with IA may experience bouts of increased inflammation, their pain may continue long after the inflammation has subsided.
If structural changes (like cartilage wear-down and inflammation) are not strongly correlated with pain levels, then what causes arthritic pain?
The answer is that all pain that humans experience is biopsychosocial. This means that the pain we experience is related to our biological reality (for example, the wear-down of cartilage in our joints), our psychological reality (for example, our thoughts, mood, fears, and past experiences of pain we’ve had in our lives), and our sociological reality (for example, our socioeconomic status and access to medical care).
In other words: our pain is impacted by many factors that are not purely biological. In light of the biopsychosocial nature of pain, it is helpful to assess whether your arthritis pain is primary, secondary, or a combination of the two.
Primary arthritis pain is caused by the nervous system amplifying pain signals and/or interpreting neutral sensations as painful, and can be successfully treated by addressing psychosocial pain drivers.
Numerous studies have found evidence that Primary Pain plays a role in both OA and IA. Secondary arthritis pain, in contrast, is caused by structural issues (such as inflammation or tissue damage).
Since the brain moderates all pain, the sensation of Primary and Secondary pain is similar -- but the drivers are very different. Assessing whether you have primary pain, secondary pain, or a combination of the two is crucial for identifying the most effective treatment for your arthritis pain.
This is why we do what we do
Lin Health has given me my life back. I struggled with daily chronic treatment resistant migraines and POTS for 8 years. My life was significantly affected as well as my husband's and children's. I started Lin Health and their pain repressing treatment in Jan/Feb and by April I was migraine free and also free from any POTS symptoms. I no longer take any medications for anything. My coach was the perfect match for me, always supporting me and meeting me where I was at.
The concept is solid, and the research is hard to dispute. Believing in the research is the most critical step. My pain has generally improved over 4 months from utterly debilitating to 60-80% better on most days. But it takes unavoidable work to chase your demons and recognize patterns that contribute. The Lin program makes it so easy. The most valuable part is my coach, who really cares and really helps. It is a journey, and we have to grow up and realize real improvement is a journey, and not a quick pill!
The access to the care kits and my coach. What I have learned regarding pain and the brains role in it all has been remarkable. I’ve learned through the kits and my coach that a bunch of my pain has been primary brain pain. It’s has given me hope when I was starting to feel really hopeless with it effecting so much of my life. I feel like I am getting my life back again. I would recommend this program to anyone that deals with pain.
My experience with Lin Health has been amazing. I truly have nothing to say for changes or improvements. The information and tools acquired through Lin Health has changed my life, and in more ways than just pain management/resolution. I have and will continue to recommend Lin Health for anyone who is looking to receive help with pain relief. But I honestly think the tools given here can impact people with other debilitating issues such as anxiety, depression, etc.
Fibromyalgia had overtaken my life. Having tried numerous things over the past 5 years and only getting worse, I was skeptical and nervous from the start. Upon meeting Lauren, my skepticism and nervousness dissipated. Lauren’s genuine sincerity and calming presence enabled me to trust and learn the process. I am more active, much happier, and off pain meds. I am able to live my life again! I gladly recommend Lauren and Lin Health to others.
Amazing program for chronic pain. They pull all the different modalities together to treat chronic pain, and the care kits in the app are simply amazing! Thorough, logical, professional, and excellently presented. My pain recovery coach is wonderful and his program is worth every penny!
I’ve tried other apps/books/programs to work on mind-body pain, but I think Lin may be the best. The program is well thought-out, with nuances for using the tools effectiveIy I haven’t seen before, as well as techniques that were new to me. And while the program is detailed, the instructions contain ideas and exercises that are practical and not as theoretical as others I’ve seen. And the coaching has been insightful and invaluable in ensuring I’m moving in the right direction.
Lin has made a HUGE and dramatic impact on my life. I went from being in chronic, severe pain to almost no pain. We’ve been able to learn a lot of root causes for why the pain flares as well, and it’s helped me significantly. I’m incredibly grateful for my coach especially. I most definitely would not have made such fast progress if it wasn’t for her helping me see things I would’ve missed on my own. I’ve been recommending it to a lot of my friends/family who are in pain and they are in awe of what a transformation I’ve had from it.
Injured in 2013; I suffered chronic back pain for a decade. The Lin Health approach surpasses other treatments I've tried to relieve pain. Lin Health has changed my relationship with pain so that I'm more mobile and healthy. Totally endorsed.
I signed up for Lin for a month. I was really skeptical but I’ve spent ore on stuff that hasn’t worked for my fibromyalgia. Not a day went by that I didn’t have at least a constant pain around a 3/10 on a good day with it going up to 6-7/10. Bad days would start at a 6-7. Fatigue would keep me in bed or dependent on caffeine. I have only scratched the surface of what Lin has to offer and last week, I spent 3 days walking around NYC, playing tour guide for my family. I was clocking at least 12k steps a day! I’m tired but happy I was able to be present with my family and not retreating to the hotel many times a day to try to get over the pain. I can’t wait to see what happens next. (Most of the time, my pain was from 0/10 to max 2/10)
I am grateful for Lin Health and all I have learned from one on one coaching and the tools provided in the app. My pain went from a 9-10 to a 1-2 in about 6 months. The tools have been life-changing and the new mindset is a growing work in progress. Give it a try, I can't say enough positive things about this experience.
Lin is providing such an important resource for people with chronic pain. It helped to give me hope again. My coach was amazing, the tools were super helpful. I can't say enough good things about it. If you are struggling with chronic pain, give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
Lin Health teaches those at their most vulnerable point how powerful they really are. Your brain is a powerful organ...it can make you feel sick, and it can make you feel well. Lin guides you back to a healthier "you." Everyone in that company is interested in you feeling better and doing better at all costs.
My entire experience with Lin was so helpful! It was easy to navigate and full of information. I will definitely recommend Lin to anyone needing support! Thank you Lin!
First, it educates you on the new mind/body teachings. Then they provide exercises for those teachings to become your new habits. Everyone associated with the group is so nice and supportive. They are truly committed to getting each patient better. I highly recommend it to anyone stuck in chronic pain!
My coach has been extremely insightful and supportive. The learning materials are also key to changing your mindset and rewiring your brain. I appreciate Lin Health so much!
Lin Health is the best healthcare company I have ever had the pleasure of using. Lin GENUINELY cares about your well-being and is willing to bend over backward to get you what you need to become a healthier YOU. The coaches and health professionals invest in you getting better. Lin Health is by far the smartest decision I have made for myself!
Lin resources and coaches have been a main support for me to deal with pain and how my brain and pain impact each other.
The customer service & my coach Tim is top notch! I have learnt alot so far. Very excited that I decided to give this a try.
I've been with Lin Health for a year now, and what a difference the program has made in my life! My coach is a wealth of knowledge and compassion and encouragement. (Isn't "encouragement" a cool word?) I have learned to cultivate a sense of safety, no matter what the body is up to. It's a very profound journey.
After only 2 weeks I’m already feeling a lot better. The personalized attention, along with Telehealth, allows me to incorporate this treatment into my busy life. It is great that it is grounded in accessible, under stable science. An innovation we needed in post covid!
Lin has helped me recover from 40 months of debilitating back pain and learn how to walk again. It's been truly remarkable.

Lin has been a game changer. I wasn't able to run for years due to a lingering knee injury I sustained back in high school. Lin gave me the confidence to say that my knee is healthy and my pain is neuroplastic.
My mindset is shifting and more automatic to think thoughts of safety and comfort and reduce panic. I have reduced my medication by over half and as a result of reduced meds and calm, I have also reduced my reliance on Tums to nearly zero.
Lin Health is the best company to work with in the field of chronic pain::: emotional & physical!
I have enjoyed everything thing about Lin. Employees are friendly, courteous & down to earth. And I might add very helpful!
Starting Lin was something of a leap of faith, but I thought that if anything could help me decrease my pain, I'd try it. I can truly say that it was a decision that changed my life
Lin has provided the tools for me completely remove my (once) chronic pain. My Lin coach has been there 24/7, continually providing resources that have helped me become more educated on primary pain. Beyond grateful for this program and for the emerging science.
I’ve made such progress in my healing with the help of lin.
Trustpilot … I WOULD GIVE LIN HEALTH 10 STARS IF THAT WERE AN OPTION ! They have been nothing but KIND, CARING & COMPASSIONATE TOWARDS MY PHYSICAL & and MENTAL HEALTH WELL-BEING.
