Pain-Pal: Chronic Pain Management Skills For The Chronic Pain Survivor -

About PainPal

PainPal(tm) is founded and run by
Esther Lurie, an experienced health
counselor, fitness educator, and fellow
long-term, multi-condition chronic pain
survivor spanning years of central pain,
endometriosis, spinal surgeries, and
more.

As the result of conducting several
thousand one-to-one health-related
sessions with adults of all ages and
backgrounds, plus years of battle with
debilitating chronic pain, Esther offers
a compassionate, yet reality-based
perspective from both sides of the
health-care fence, one that
incorporates both the larger picture
and the ever-important minute detail
that piece by piece forms the basis of
both change and hope.

The sum total of these experiences,
along with pain-related issues and
education learned en-route, are used
to assist you and/or your loved ones in
your journey toward more fulfilling,
productive lives...ultimately, a better
balanced co-existence with chronic
pain, and reduction of its impact and
veracity on the realities of everyday
living.

Founded in February 2000, PAINPAL is a
registered business in the State of New
York via the County of Kings, Business #
023766.

About This Site

Thanks for visiting PainPal.com. This
chronic pain management website,
formerly originating as pain-pal.com, is
here to assist you and your loved ones
in your efforts to effectively manage
pain, reduce it's impact, promote
understanding, foster openness,
enhance your well-being, and help get
you back on track so you can live as
healthfully and peacefully as possible.

Although there are no magical solutions
to chronic pain, nor quick fixes for
eliminating its impact, there's no limit
to how far you might travel in your path
toward health and wellness, cure or
healing depending upon your
perspective, effort, willingness,
opportunity, resources, and hope -
amongst a variety of other factors that
contribute to the mix.

There are many roads to relief, and
infinite possibilities of how you might
get there. The choices remain with
you. And so, whether your belief
system is ultimately that of cure - as in
Western medical philosophy, or healing
- as in a more Eastern and holistic
approach - the goal of PainPal.com is to
educate and empower you about the
day-to-day aspects of co-existing with
chronic pain, as well as to assist in
getting you where you'd like to go by
helping you target what you need and
strategizing how to best help you get
there.

Managing chronic pain is often very
multi-dimensional, combining some of
this and some of that, and some of
many other things. And so, while one or
two approaches on their own might not
be as productive as desired, multiple
approaches working together can be.
Taken from there, infinite possibilities
emerge - the sky's the limit...but the
ground is where to begin.

Always remember, that no matter the
size, every step forward is an important
one in your journey toward a better
life. Small things learned and taken at
face value, might seem of little
consequence in context of the whole,
but when seemingly small things learned
combine, they stand to positively
impact the larger picture and lead to
improvement in overall life quality.

And so as you browse this website and
consider its offerings, please be sure to
keep this in mind. Everything presented
in these pages has its purpose...that is,
to help you help yourself, or those you
love.

Best wishes to all of you in your
journey to improve your life.

Esther Lurie,
Founder
