An estimated 20-30 percent of Canadians suffer from
some type of chronic pain as a result of physical injury,
disease or due to lifestyle choices. Chronic pain comes
in different forms, and levels of severity, but it always
has an impact on sufferers' quality of life. This high
volume of patients requiring treatment profoundly tasks
the Canadian healthcare system - and this is precisely
why CPM Centres for Pain Management plays a role in alleviating
the pressure.
