Live More. Struggle Less.
Think about pain differently. Live life more fully.
It's easy to become trapped by chronic pain.
It takes control of lives. Affecting moods, functional ability, participation in meaningful activities, and overall quality of life.
Unfortunately, resources are often limited, information can be contradictory, and treatments provide only partial short-term relief, if any.
But don't give up hope. While the chronic pain is real, it doesn't have to be your reality.
The pain experience can change, even go away, by understanding it, accepting it, and changing how you approach it.
The path to recovery starts with you.

Understand painThe path to recovery starts with education to make sense of the pain so you don't have to focus on it or worry about it.
Pain is more than just a physical biomedical sensation. It's an experience shaped by an interplay of biological, psychological, and social contributors. Moreover, pain can't simply be reduced to a number on a pain scale, nor is it a reliable measure of tissue damage or illness. |
Accept painIt's often the struggle with chronic pain and its related conditions like anxiety, depression, and fatigue, that is the worst part of having pain, not the pain itself.
The struggle can make it easy to be distressed and feel like a victim. To minimize the struggle, it's helpful to come to terms with the pain as your "new normal", accepting the pain as a part of life with no magical medical cure, not focusing on the pain, and not needing to reduce it or avoid it to participate in life. |
Change painPain can change.
Recovery involves using active self-management skills and strategies, such as stress management, cognitive restructuring, goal-setting, day planning, meaningful movement, moderation, and modification, to participate in everyday activities and make your life bigger than the pain. There's no one-size-fits-all approach that works for everyone. You need to find what works best for you. |
Chronic Pain Champions educates and supports people living with chronic pain — including fibromyalgia, nerve pain, migraine, central sensitization, back pain, and other persistent pain conditions — through evidence-informed strategies grounded in real experience.
Imagine being in a car with chronic pain.

You can take control.
Put pain in the backseat.
