DescriptionSites in this category aim to serve the support needs of people suffering with the debilitating effects of Chronic Pain, and those who are searching for effective methods of pain management.

Chronic pain is a condition which persists for one to three months beyond the time that an expected acute pain or acute injury should subside or is associated with a chronic pathological process.

Pain management can be defined as the combination of various psychological techniques and practical strategies designed to optimize physical function, quality of life and to reduce emotional distress for people suffering with the effects of chronic pain.
