September is Pain Awareness Month
September has arrived and Pain Awareness Month has officially begun. Every year since 2001, Pain Awareness Month has helped raise awareness among the general public for chronic pain and its pervasiveness in the lives of millions. During Pain Awareness Month, pain sufferers everywhere share their knowledge and experiences to help educate others about pain and pain management.
Pain Awareness Month aims to raise awareness for a variety of pain conditions. Some of the most common types of pain include:
- Back Pain: Approximately 8 in every 10 people report experiencing back pain at some point in their life. This includes pain, soreness, muscle spasms and more in the upper or lower back areas.
- Arthritis: Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in America. More than 100 types of Arthritis exist, all of which can cause the degeneration of tissue in surrounding joints, leading to pain, inflammation and restricted mobility.
- Neck and Shoulder Pain: Pain in the neck and shoulders due to underlying conditions or normal wear-and-tear over time is estimated to affect nearly 1 in 3 individuals.
- Foot and Leg Pain: Poor circulation, blood clots and varicose veins can lead to pain, swelling and immobility in the feet and legs.
