This organization credentials doctors as being board certified in pain management. The ACPA is a non-profit, tax exempt organization with more than 800 chapters in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, England, Ireland, Scotland and Russia. Our purpose is to provide a support system for those suffering with chronic pain through education and self-help group activities. We seek to get members out of the patient role and back to being a person.
Groups are open to all persons suffering with chronic pain.
The North American Chronic Pain Association is a national association of self-help groups dedicated to providing support to people in chronic pain. The association was founded in 1986 and is continuing to grow and progress as an organization.
