Pain Management

Paul Nadeau (CommonMarkets in Montreal) is on the board of the AQDC (the Quebec foundation for chronic pain) and leads our efforts in chronic pain management.

Our focus is on self-management programs like mindfullness training and on physical activity/exercise ... two aspects of the prescribed solutions that need a lot more attention and success.

We also look at chronic pain as an antecedent to other chronic conditions ... e.g. pain - sedentary - weight gain - hypertension - diabetes.

We are connected to chronic pain patient groups in Montreal and Kingston.
