PAIN CARE SHOULD BE AS INDIVIDUAL AS YOU ARE.
#MYPAINPLAN
The 2020 theme:
#MyPainPlan
Each person with pain is entirely unique – which means his or her treatment plan should be, too. We choose this year’s theme because we believe in the vital importance of an individualized, multidisciplinary, multimodal approach to pain care.
