Our Mission
The CDC estimates that 50 million Americans – just over 20% of the adult population live with chronic pain. About 20 million of them have “high impact chronic pain”- pain severe enough that it frequently limits life or work activities.
Living with chronic pain often times leads to depression, anxiety, social isolation and/or despair. Many times the chronic pain patient is misunderstood and dismissed as drug seekers that’s why at Associated Pain Specialists our mission is to give the utmost compassionate quality care that will optimize the life of the patient suffering from chronic pain.
