We all have a story about our pain…
- A Pain Story is the narrative you have crafted about and around the pain.
- It is not the physical sensation itself.
- Rather, your Pain Story contains the thoughts, opinions, expectations, feelings, and significance that you attribute to your persisting pain.
- A Pain Story helps you make sense of the pain and develop an answer to the question of why you hurt.
- Unfortunately, this story may be impeding your recovery.
Take the first step to a new narrative:
A Complementary Approach to Enhance Your Current Therapeutic Care
Overcoming chronic pain often takes a collaborative approach that addresses the whole person. Standard treatment is often isolated to the physical body, where it hurts, while the other contributing factors are overlooked. However, our Pain Story is powerful and linked to healing.

The Chronic Pain Problem
- Approximately one and half billion people worldwide have chronic pain, including nearly 25% of US adults
- Standard treatments which are mostly invasive and only aimed at the physical body are frequently ineffective
- The goal of persistent pain care is often management instead of elimination
- Current pain remedies only address symptoms not the underlying causes
The Pain Story Project Solution
- Research has proven that learning about persistent pain can reduce it
- Chronic pain is caused by many factors
- Pain educators agree: chronic pain is often a ‘pain problem’ not a tissue issue
- The meaning applied to chronic pain directs behaviors and outcomes
- Ongoing pain is a sensory and emotional experience both of which need to be considered in recovery
