PAIN CARE SHOULD BE AS INDIVIDUAL AS YOU ARE.
#MYPAINPLAN
Our 2020 campaign is presented in collaboration with Sunbeam®, a manufacturer of electric appliances, including heat therapy products.
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.

- Of that number, 20 million live with high-impact chronic pain, or pain that significantly limits daily activities.
- Pain costs the United States an estimated $635 billion a year in terms of lost productivity and medical costs.
- Pain is the number one reason Americans visit the doctor.
- Pain is the leading cause of long-term disability in adults.
