It’s #NPAW2025. Did you know that pain, when left unmanaged, can result in diminished quality of life, depression and anxiety? We can reduce pain's impacts by implementing @GovCanHealth’s Action Plan for Pain in Canada. Track its progress here: PainCanada.ca/actionplan

It’s #NPAW2025. Chronic pain impacts millions of Canadians, including the 1 in 5 people living with arthritis, but treatment is possible.

As National Pain Awareness Week (#NPAW2025) wraps up, we’re spotlighting Brooke Biggs, PT @mch_childrens & a wonderful collaborator in our community of practice, reflecting on the 3-Ps focus in ECHO's #PedPain program:
“They’re super open and collaborative...they want everyone to be providing evidence based, biopsychosocial approach to practice with chronic pain.”

💡 Sex & gender shape how people experience chronic pain — from access to care to treatment outcomes. Yet these factors are often overlooked.
This #NPAW2025, let’s raise awareness so everyone living with pain gets the care they need. 💪

💡 Le sexe et le genre influencent la façon dont les gens vivent la douleur chronique – de l’accès aux soins aux résultats des traitements. Ces facteurs sont souvent négligés.
À la #NPAW2025, sensibilisons et agissons pour que chacun reçoive les soins dont il a besoin.

Nociplastic pain occurs when the brain & spinal cord amplify or misinterpret pain signals — even without injury.
🧠 Research helps us learn how to retrain the nervous system & prevent chronic pain.

Il y a encore des préjugés sexistes dans notre système de santé qui font que les femmes souffrant de douleur chronique sont souvent ignorées ou sous-traitées. Suivez le travail effectué pour créer un accès équitable aux soins en douleur: Actionplan.paincanada.ca/fr
