September is Pain Awareness Month
We are joining the US Pain Foundation in Unmasking Pain.
Chronic pain often hides in plain sight, behind smiles, missed milestones, and misunderstood moments. But for millions, it’s real, relentless, and life-altering.
Throughout September, we stand with patients, caregivers, and providers to shed light on the realities of chronic pain and push for greater compassion, equity, and change.

September is Pain Awareness Month—and this year, we’re Unmasking Pain.
Chronic pain often hides in plain sight—behind forced smiles, missed milestones, and misunderstood moments. But for millions, it’s real, relentless, and life-altering.
This September, the U.S. Pain Foundation invites you to join us in Unmasking Pain—lifting up the voices of people with pain, their loved ones, caregivers, youth, and health care providers.
Because pain is more than a chart. It’s a life. Behind every diagnosis is a person—too often unheard, unseen, or disbelieved.
Our new national survey makes this clear: adults waiting years for answers, kids whose pain is dismissed as “just growing pains,” caregivers stretched to the breaking point, and providers underprepared but eager to do better.
These aren’t just numbers—they’re lived realities of stigma, isolation, and systemic gaps that demand urgent attention.
👉 Join us throughout the month as we reveal the full experience of pain—and push for the compassion, equity, and change people deserve. Learn more:
