September is Pain Awareness Month in Canada 🇨🇦
Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 Canadians, impacting quality of life, mental health, and daily function. Unlike acute pain, chronic pain can persist for months or even years, often without a visible cause.
👉 What you should know:
✅ Chronic pain is recognized as a disease, not just a symptom.
✅ It can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender.
✅ Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care can improve outcomes.
💡 If you or someone you know is living with chronic pain:
✔️ Talk to your healthcare provider about treatment options.
✔️ Explore resources like the Canadian Pain Society and Pain BC.
✔️ Advocate for awareness—understanding pain reduces stigma.
Let’s work together to create a Canada where no one suffers in silence.
