Override is a virtual, multi-specialty chronic pain care provider that matches patients with integrated teams of pain physicians, physical therapists, psychologists, and coaches. The company positions itself as a non-opioid, one-stop solution to fragmented chronic pain treatment and uses pain neuroscience to drive functional, behavioral, and movement changes. Patients can buy individual appointments or enroll in a monthly "Comprehensive Pain Program" with frequent live appointments across disciplines. Override says interdisciplinary teamwork improves clinical outcomes and lowers cost of care. The company is working directly with patients while piloting its full model with employer and health system partners and running consumer promotions. Financially, Override emerged from stealth with a $3.5M seed raise and has acquired Take Courage Coaching, a leading pain management coaching business.
