National Pain Foundation - Chronic Pain, Arthritis Pain, Back and Neck Pain, Headache Pain, Cancer Pain, CRPS Pain

Description

One in four Americans - 75 million people - live in chronic, debilitating pain. Many have endured years of agony and undergone two or more failed surgeries seeking pain relief.

Chronic pain accounts for more than 80 percent of all physician visits and yet the majority of providers have little or no training in pain medicine and management.

The National Pain Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1998 to advance functional recovery of persons in pain through information, education and support. Founded by Dr. Elliot Krames (left) Dr. Daniel Bennett (center), and Jim Hagen (right), The NPF is built on the belief that early intervention of pain conditions can positively change the direction of a person's life. Dr. Krames, Dr. Bennett, and Hagen created the organization to serve the 70 million Americans experiencing chronic pain. The NPF recognizes that pain is real. It is a disease in and of itself that needs to be diagnosed and managed as comprehensively as any other disease. Our goal is to empower patients by helping them become actively involved in the design of their treatment plan, exploring both traditional and complementary approaches to pain management. The guidance and direction provided by its founders and Board of Directors has made the NPF and its web site, www.nationalpainfoundation.org, one of the premier sites providing accurate and reliable information and community support to persons in pain.
