Understanding Chronic Pain

Pain is a global health problem. One in five people suffer with pain every year. One in ten experience chronic pain every year. The annual costs of treating pain are greater than the costs of treating cancer, heart disease and diabetes combined. 43% of Americans receiving massage reported they did so for health conditions such as pain management, injury rehabilitation, migraine control or overall wellness. 88% of consumers agree that massage can be effective in reducing pain.
