Dr. Paul Lynch Leads a Mission to 'Save One Million Lives' Through a Bold, Innovative Approach that Promotes Dignity and Quality of Life
PHOENIX, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- US Pain, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to transforming chronic pain management, officially launches today, bringing new hope to millions of Americans living with and suffering from persistent pain. US Pain is redefining chronic pain care by placing dignity, compassion, and quality of life at the center of a patient-first, physician-led model.
Chronic pain affects more than 50 million Americans, impacting their daily lives, work productivity, and overall well-being. Despite its prevalence, many individuals struggle to find effective treatment options and support. US Pain is closing the gap in chronic pain care by delivering truly comprehensive, patient-centered services. By integrating multidisciplinary mental health support, substance use disorder treatment, and cutting-edge pain management, US Pain is focused on improving not just symptoms—but the overall well-being, dignity, and quality of life of every patient. This strategy is designed to save one million lives (over the next 25 years) and drive significant improvements in healthcare policies and change how pain is treated.
US Pain is founded by Paul Lynch, MD, a double board-certified and fellowship-trained pain management physician and anesthesiologist. With more than 17 years of experience treating complex chronic pain conditions, he is recognized as an industry leader, driven by a commitment to advancing the field. His passion for pioneering treatments with an evidenced-based approach, combined with personal experiences of his loved ones' healthcare and chronic pain journeys, inspired the creation of US Pain and its mission to deliver world-class pain management solutions to patients nationwide.
"In 2023, approximately 125 million opioid prescriptions were dispensed in the U.S.," said Dr. Paul Lynch, CEO and Founder of US Pain. "Our approach aims to change this–and how the U.S. healthcare system addresses chronic pain. For years, chronic pain has been widely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed, leading to ineffective care and poor outcomes. Millions of people suffer from chronic pain, and they often feel unheard and alone. We believe pain management should be different. At US Pain, we are dedicated to a holistic, patient-first methodology that combines a better approach to chronic pain care, along with mental health services, and substance abuse treatment, including medication-assisted treatment and Suboxone micro induction, all aimed at promoting dignity and quality of life. We understand that chronic pain is not merely a symptom, but a complex condition requiring a comprehensive, multidimensional approach."
US Pain's holistic solutions and treatments include:
- Focus on Conservative Care – Prioritizing evidence-based conservative care measures as the foundation for a successful pain treatment program, we focus on diagnosing and determining the underlying conditions leading to the patient's pain. This includes the use of hands-on therapy, behavioral health, lifestyle modifications, ergonomic improvements, and minimally invasive procedure options.
- Mental Health and Substance Abuse Support – Recognizing that pain is not only physical, US Pain also provides services to address the emotional and psychological toll, including cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, family therapy, and support groups. To support those with substance abuse, some US Pain locations are now offering lifesaving medication assisted treatment and Suboxone micro inductions, with more joining every day. This care is offered in a collaborative and non-judgmental setting.
- Advanced Treatment Options – Combining the latest evidence-based treatments with innovative therapies to help patients regain control of their lives. These treatment solutions include spinal cord stimulation and neuromodulation therapies, such as permanent pain reducing stimulation implants that are programmed to deliver controlled electrical stimulation based on pain levels.
To help accomplish US Pain's mission to save 1 million lives, decrease suffering, and improve quality of life, Dr. Lynch is joined by a medical advisory board of more than 40 physicians from diverse specialties across the nation. Both the US Pain leadership team and medical advisory board are composed of individuals who exemplify a profound commitment to advancing the understanding and treatment of complex pain syndromes. Their collective expertise spans clinical practice, advocacy, and innovative care models, positioning them as influential figures in the realm of pain management.
"We want to influence a new standard of care in the pain management space," said Denis Patterson, DO, US Pain Chief Medical Officer. "We believe US Pain IS the future of pain care. We understand the debilitating effects of chronic pain and we seek to provide hope and a new outlook for those suffering. I believe we can change the course of chronic pain care in the U.S., and by doing so change the lives for the better."
Determined to make chronic pain care accessible to everyone, regardless of their geographic location, US Pain currently has clinics in Arizona, California, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, and Nevada. US Pain is actively looking for partner physicians in all 50 states who want to join its mission to save one million lives.
"At US Pain, we believe that managing chronic pain requires more than a prescription—it requires a personalized, whole-person approach grounded in compassion and science," said Dr. Erika Peterson, Chairperson of the US Pain Medical Advisory Board. "By integrating conservative care, mental health support, and advanced treatment technologies, we are setting a new standard—one that empowers patients, honors their dignity, and prioritizes their quality of life at every step."
