Welcome!

If you are a visitor to this site, then likely you are a person who has experienced chronic intractable pain, or you have someone else in your life whom you love that is suffering. In our own personal experience, as a physician and psychologist, as well as a person who lives with pain everyday, Basic education in pain is woefully lacking in traditional medical schools, and particularly poor for physicians in primary care. Oftentimes, practitioners in alternative medicine, like chiropractors and acupuncture specialists, know more about pain than physicians in traditional allopathic medicine. Worse, a lot of medical specialists have clear biases against pain patients, particularly those who also have psychological issues. Our purpose is to provide you with the education that will allow you to ask the questions you need to ask of your medical professionals, to find different medical professionals if you need to, and most significantly, to take active steps focused around increasing your physical activity to try to get your life back. We also hope to build an active community of persons in pain and those who love them who can share their own experiences, resources, and hopes, again in an effort to empower those in pain to reach their utmost potential.
