PainPathways Magazine
PainPathways is the first, only and ultimate pain magazine.
First published in spring 2008, PainPathways is the culmination of the vision of Richard L. Rauck, MD, to provide a shared resource for people living with and caring for others in pain. This quarterly resource not only provides in-depth information on current treatments, therapies and research studies but also connects people who live with pain, both personally and professionally.
Our Purpose: to inform and inspire readers to define their best path to wellness.
On this journey, we welcome many partners — national pain organizations, support groups, top pain physicians and researchers.
