Nerveli was founded for chronic pain sufferers, by chronic pain sufferers.
Meet Leon Jacobson
Founder & CEO
Living with chronic pain. 23 doctors and he still couldn’t bend over to play with his son.
Leon didn’t just want relief– he wanted his life back.
So he partnered with pain psychologists, pain scientists, physicians, and data scientists to build what was missing: science-backed, daily support for pain between visits. That work became Nerveli.
Nerveli can help
We believe pain is real
No convincing. No proving. No minimizing.
We respect complexity
Pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. Neither is support.
We lead with science and humility
Evidence matters. So does listening.
We support, not replace, care
Work alongside providers.
We build for real life
Progress that fits into imperfect days.
Where does the system fall short?
Pain is complex, but care is often fragmented. Appointments are short, answers are unclear, and most people are left to manage pain alone between visits.
What actually helps?
Research and lived experience show that understanding pain– how it’s influenced by stress, habits, and the nervous system– can reduce suffering. Daily support matters.
What can we build?
Nerveli was built to support people in the moments care often doesn’t: between appointments, during flare-ups, and on the days pain feels invisible.


Understand your pain → get daily support → make progress over time.
