About one in five people in Canada live with chronic pain, yet it is still too often misunderstood, stigmatized and dismissed.
Pain can affect every part of life, including work, school, sleep, mental health, relationships, finances and daily routines.
Because pain is often invisible, people can face disbelief, stigma and barriers to getting the care and support they need.
Pain BC works to improve support today while helping build systems where pain is addressed earlier, more equitably and without stigma.
Pain BC turns knowledge and lived experience into practical action through education, partnerships, advocacy and solutions that improve how pain is addressed across health care, workplaces and communities.
Our evidence-informed resources cover chronic pain, treatment and care, self-management strategies and everyday life with pain.
