conquering pain

Whether chronic pain is in the back, the jaw, the breast, a joint or elsewhere, and is a result of injury, disease, biology or surgery, all pain resides in the brain. 

The Pain Foundation supports gifted and world-renowned doctors, scientists and clinicians in exploring and unravelling the science and management of pain. Applying that knowledge in practical ways frees sufferers from the debilitating and devastating experience of chronic pain and the associated  depression and anxiety it can cause. 

Conquering chronic pain sets sufferers, their families and our community free to live life to the fullest again. You can help this vital work.
