Six Reasons to Market Your Practice to Pain Patients

1.      There are a lot of pain patients.

100 million Americans, about 1 in 3, are in chronic pain. There are more people in chronic pain than have cancer, heart disease and diabetes combined.

2.      Pain patients are spending a lot of money on alternative treatments for pain

According to a 2007 report by the National Center on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Americans spent over $30 billion on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) per year. American adults are most likely to use CAM for musculoskeletal problems such as back, neck, or joint pain. Although there has been no update on this survey, all indications are that the use of CAM in the United States has grown substantially since then.

3.      They really need you

Pain patients are being ill served by conventional medicine. The most common treatment, opioid drugs, has caused many to become addicted, the rest to become dependent. Now that the opioid crisis has reached catastrophic proportions, many pain patients have had their medications reduced or discontinued without being offered any other treatment. Many have become tolerant of the drugs and no longer get relief. Others are being given other dangerous or ineffective drugs. Surgical interventions, especially for back and neck pain, fail often and often leave the patients worse off than they were before. Failed back surgery syndrome is now a common diagnosis. Many pain patients are desperate for alternative.

4.      Helping them is very rewarding

When you help a patient who has suffered for years or decades to find relief, they are very grateful and you will have earned your place in heaven.

5.      Niche marketing generally works better than marketing to the general population

When you market to a general population saying you can help everyone with their problems, patients are less attracted to your service than if you say you specialize in a problem they have.
