Mission Statement
This
website was created with one major goal: to provide consumers with the most
comprehensive one-stop resource possible for information about pain,
its causes and treatment. Our goal is to collect and present to you
FREE, authoritative, and unbiased information about…
Information has been gathered from a wide variety of the most
up-to-date public and private sector sources: government agencies,
pain associations, market research studies, pain experts and
consultants.
Pain in America
It has been estimated that 21% of adult
Americans, or 34 million people, experience mild to moderate
chronic pain to the degree that they seek relief from a
physician. Pain is the second most common reason people visit
physicians - topped only by colds and upper respiratory infections.
The American Medical Association estimates that 10% of Americans are
dealing with chronic pain.
The National Institutes of Health claims
that 40 million Americans are unable to find relief from their
pain, which is chronic. The U.S. population is aging,
manifesting associated diseases such as
arthritis. In addition,
growth in the number of surgeries and rising levels of obesity are contributing to lower
back pain. Most consumers, despite more publicity about
the field in recent years, still do not know that
pain management
programs exist in their area, nor how to find these practitioners. A study conducted for
the American Pain Foundation found that an astonishing 78% of pain
sufferers who sought
medical treatment for their pain had never been
referred to a
pain specialist.
