About Pain Concern
“Chronic pain affects millions of people in the UK, causing widespread suffering and poor health. While increasing attention is given to the provision of specialist services and the role of drugs and medicines, there is a lot that people can do to help themselves. Pain Concern fulfils a really important purpose in showing how this can be done, providing support and information that is second to none, and led by experts. Pain Concern is one of the most important organizations currently working in this important area”
Professor Blair Smith (former National Lead Clinician for Chronic Pain)
