CHRONIC PAIN IS NOT ALL IN YOUR HEAD
PAINZ KNOWS YOUR PAIN IS REAL.
YOU DO NOT JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.
PAINZ is a Patient Powered Support Group
Since 1985 PAINZ has worked to improve the quality of life for pain sufferers in New Zealand.
COMMITTEE
Co-ordinator: Gillian Crowe
Patron : Pauline Giles
Chairperson: Ian Dann
Secretary: Bev Scammell
Treasurer: Anne Paterson
In PAINZ great importance is placed on the role of the family and friends of CHRONIC PAIN sufferers and those involved with their care. Social isolation is often the end result of ongoing CHRONIC PAIN.
Because caregivers, doctors, physiotherapists and other health professionals take their place as members alongside CHRONIC PAIN sufferers, we are able to form direct links between pain sufferers, health professionals, government agencies and the community in general.
PAINZ has a growing membership mainly in the Canterbury area but we do have members in other parts of New Zealand and Australia.
Members suffer from many types of pain including back and neck pain, cancer, arthritis, ME, phantom limb pain, OOS, migrain etc.
ANY PAIN SUFFERERS ARE MOST WELCOME.
