Why pain matters

Chronic pain affects millions of Canadians, yet it is still too often misunderstood, stigmatized, and dismissed.

Pain can affect every part of life — work, school, sleep, mental health, family life, and daily routines.

Pain BC is helping build a future where pain is addressed earlier, more equitably, and without stigma.
