Introduction
Persistent pain can flip your world upside down, affecting every aspect of your life. But recovery is possible, and we’re here to help!
-
1 - Persistent pain is common
Pain can affect anyone, no matter our rage, race, gender, or financial situation.
-
2 - Hurt doesn't always mean harm
It may seem strange, but pain levels and severity of injury are NOT closely linked.
-
3 - Everything matters when it comes to pain
Our pain system listens to everything that might be affecting us: not just our nerve signals.
-
4 - Medicines and surgeries are often not the answer
Pain is influenced by not just biological but also psychological and social factors, which surgery and medications alone cannot address.
-
5 - Understanding your pain can be key
The latest scientific research has shown that if people understand their pain better, it can make a big difference.
-
6 - Recovery is possible
Everyone is different: but recovery is possible, no matter how you define it.
Designed by experts
The Flippin’ Pain Formula was created by academics, health care professionals, communication specialists and, most importantly, people living with pain themselves.
They wanted to create a ‘one stop shop’ for all the basics of pain science that wasn’t too long or baffling.
