Welcome to Pain 101

Pain 101 is an education program created by health professionals at the University of Alberta and the Multidisciplinary Pain Centre at the University of Alberta’s Edmonton Clinic South in Edmonton, Alberta.

The program is made up of chapters that contain helpful chronic pain management strategies, which have been learned from experts from around the world. The chapters were selected based on feedback we have received from over hundreds of our patients.

We have actively tried learning from the real chronic pain experts – the people who live with chronic pain on a daily basis! These individuals have worked directly with our staff to help helped them understand which areas need more information
and/or support.

Please note: You will notice that the website chapters refer to having access to a coach. Unfortunately at this point in the development of the program, no coaches will be assigned to readers. Please ignore all parts that refer to a coach until otherwise notified.
