Dr. Mark provides personalized, one-on-one pain and mind-body coaching.
Coaching may include education and discussion relating to persistent pain, pain neuroscience, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) principles, behavior and lifestyle, movement, sleep, circadian rhythm and light exposure, nutrition, supplements, and other general wellness topics.
These services are intended to help clients better understand these subjects and explore strategies that may be relevant to their individual goals and circumstances. Coaching is not medical care.
Although Mark Spretnjak has earned a medical degree and uses the professional designation MD, participation in coaching does not establish a physician-patient relationship. Dr. Mark is not acting as your treating physician through this website or coaching service.
The use of the terms “Dr. Mark,” “MD,” “medical,” “medicine,” or references to medical education describes Mark Spretnjak’s educational background and credentials. It should not be interpreted as establishing a physician-patient relationship or representing that medical services are being provided through this coaching service.
Dr. Mark does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medications, provide emergency medical services, or replace the care of your physician or other licensed healthcare professionals through this coaching service.
Information discussed during coaching should not be interpreted as an individual medical diagnosis, prescription, or medical treatment plan.
Do not start, stop, or change prescription medication or medically necessary treatment based solely on information provided through this website or coaching.
Persistent pain can have many causes, including conditions that require medical investigation and treatment.
Coaching should not be used to assume that pain is neuroplastic, nociplastic, psychological, or otherwise non-structural without appropriate medical evaluation.
Clients are encouraged to maintain an appropriate relationship with their own physician and other healthcare professionals.
Dr. Mark may recommend that a client obtain further medical evaluation before beginning or continuing coaching when symptoms or circumstances warrant it.
Do not delay seeking medical care because of something you have read on this website, viewed on Dr. Mark’s social-media channels, or discussed during coaching.
If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.

Every person’s circumstances are different.
Testimonials, case examples, client experiences, educational examples, or discussions of previous clients do not guarantee that another person will experience the same results.
No specific improvement, reduction in pain, recovery, or other health outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Content appearing on this website, social-media accounts, videos, articles, emails, interviews, podcasts, comments, or other educational materials associated with Dr. Mark is provided for general informational and educational purposes.
Public content cannot take into account an individual’s complete medical history, examination findings, medications, diagnostic testing, or personal circumstances.
General educational information should therefore not be used as a substitute for individualized medical care.
You remain responsible for decisions concerning your healthcare.
When medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, medication management, laboratory testing, or other clinical services are required, those services should be obtained from an appropriately licensed healthcare professional.
Where appropriate, you should discuss information learned through coaching with your own healthcare providers.
Medical and scientific knowledge changes over time.
While reasonable efforts are made to provide accurate and evidence-informed information, content may become outdated, and no representation is made that every piece of information provided is complete or applicable to every individual.
