With at least one in five people living with chronic pain worldwide, and numbers continuing to rise, the challenge of pain management is a significant burden and impacts quality of life of individuals and their families. Pain and pain-related conditions are the leading cause of impaired ability to function in daily activities. Once the pain cycle is activated for an extended period of time, it is harder to get it to turn off.

Almost half of the population will live with one or more chronic conditions at some point in their life. Chronic conditions impact an individual's ability to work, care for their children, engage in social activities, get a quality sleep, and much more.

Diagnostic tests often fail to identify the reason for the pain or other unexplained medical symptoms. Many people are told they “need to learn to live with it” because the tests show they are going to have a long life.

Patients feel their experience is invalidated when they are treated like it is “all in their head”. Lack of pain and symptoms relief and lack of answers can feel overwhelming and cause individuals to lose hope.

There is reason to hope!

Your experience is real and you can take charge of your pain and symptom management plan.
