The LiveWell with Chronic Pain Program is a peer-led, community based, self-management program to help adults who are experiencing a wide range of chronic pain conditions including:
- Repetitive strain injuries or whiplash injuries
- Persistent headaches
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain (such as neck, shoulder, back pain)
- Chronic regional pain or pelvic pain
- Fibromyalgia or neuralgias
- Neuropathic pain (often caused by trauma)
- Post-stroke or central pain
- Crohn’s disease or irritable bowel syndrome
- Severe muscular pain due to conditions such as multiple sclerosis
- Postsurgical pain lasting longer than six months
This program is currently offered in four health regions in Saskatchewan – Regina Qu’Appelle, Saskatoon, Prairie North and Kelsey Trail – as part of the provincial LiveWell with Chronic Conditions Program. The program has been adopted from the Stanford Self-Management Program developed for people who have a primary or secondary diagnosis of chronic pain.
You can refer yourself to the program or you can be referred by your health care provider, family members, or support persons.
