September is Pain Awareness Month, intended to raise public awareness around pain, pain management, and the great work pain professionals do. The focus for 2022 is the vital importance of an individualized, multidisciplinary and multimodal approach to pain care. We are very proud of our Comprehensive Pain Center faculty and staff, and their top-notch, multidisciplinary approach to patient care, research, and education.
