Why Get Involved


According to the National Centers for Health Statistics, an estimated 76.5 million Americans suffer from persistent pain every year. The spectrum of people with persistent pain ranges from patients with life-limiting diseases, including those with advanced malignancies, to patients with conditions where chronic pain commonly occurs – including osteoarthritis, other joint and spinal degenerative disorders, postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, post-stroke central pain, and many more common conditions. When we have the means to address this pain – and are not doing so effectively – this number is absolutely unacceptable.
