WHAT IS "KNOW PAIN, NO PAIN"?
Know Pain, No Pain is a non-profit program developed by Dr. D. Joseph Meyer to help pain sufferers improve their pain through education and self activation.
MISSION
When a painful problem persists for months or longer, the nervous system is altered and the pain becomes a disease process in itself, referred to as a chronic pain disorder. A chronic pain disorder is separate from any underlying injury or contributing disease process. This concept applies to all long-lasting pain problems, regardless of location in the body or contributing injury or disease. Modern neuroscience discoveries demonstrate common changes occurring in the nervous system of all chronic pain sufferers. The Know Pain, No Pain program is designed to help sufferers of chronic pain understand these changes occurring in their bodies. Such understanding is critical to reverse the chronic pain process and return to a normal life.
