The problem

Chronic pain is relentless. Support shouldn't stop after 12 weeks.

Millions of Americans live with chronic pain, often facing real financial constraints and care that ends when a program does. Between appointments, most people are left to figure it out alone.

Pioneers in Pain closes that gap with affordable, continuous, one-on-one coaching — personalized support that lives outside the clinic and stays with you.

Between visits

The hardest days rarely happen in a doctor's office.

Cost pressure

Out-of-pocket specialist visits add up fast.

Feeling alone

Generic apps can't replace a coach who knows you.

No endpoint

Chronic means ongoing — care should be too.

How it works

From first message to a coach in your corner

Getting started takes minutes. The support lasts as long as you need it.

01

Tell us about your pain

A short, judgment-free intake captures your condition, goals and what you've already tried.

02

Get matched to your coach

We pair you with a specialized pain coach whose expertise fits your situation — usually within days.

03

Book your first session

Choose a time that works and meet one-on-one, online. Your coach builds a plan around you.

04

Progress, together

Regular sessions, check-ins and adjustments keep momentum going as your life and body change.

Why Pioneers in Pain

Built for the gaps other platforms leave open

Where app-first programs and short-term care fall short, we double down on the human relationship.

A real coach who knows you

Not a chatbot or a library of exercise videos. You're matched with one specialized pain coach who learns your history and stays with you.

Continuous, not a 12-week program

Chronic pain doesn't graduate. We're built for the long haul — ongoing coaching that adapts as your body and life change.

Specialized by condition

Coaches are matched to your specific pain — back, joint, neuropathic, fibromyalgia and more — so guidance is relevant from day one.

Priced to stay

$79/month — deliberately below a single out-of-pocket US specialist visit, so affordability never forces you to stop.

Complements your medical care

We work alongside your clinicians, focusing on self-management, movement, pacing and confidence between appointments.

Built for the gaps others leave

Where app-first programs drop off, we lean into human relationships, personalization and genuine accessibility.

Sample stories

The difference a coach who stays makes

Illustrative experiences from a growing early community
For the first time, someone actually built a plan around my life instead of handing me another set of exercises. My coach gets it.
DRDana R.Living with chronic lower-back pain
Having the same coach every session changed everything. We adjust as things change — it never feels like starting over.

At $79 a month it costs less than one visit I used to dread. Now I have real support in between, every week.

Questions

Everything you might be wondering

Still curious? Join the waitlist and we'll follow up personally.

A pain coach is a trained specialist who works with you one-on-one to build a personalized, evidence-informed plan for living better with chronic pain — combining movement, pacing, sleep, stress and self-management strategies. Coaches complement (they don't replace) your medical care.

Those programs lean heavily on app-guided exercise or episodic care. Pioneers in Pain is built around a continuous 1:1 human relationship with a coach who knows your history — matched to your specific condition, available online, and priced for the long haul rather than a short program.

Membership is $79/month — deliberately set below the cost of a single out-of-pocket US specialist visit. When your employer or health plan sponsors Pioneers in Pain, your cost can be $0.

Increasingly, yes. We contract directly with self-insured employers and payers who fund chronic pain benefits. Join the waitlist and we'll help you check whether your benefits already include us — or make it easy to nominate your employer.

No referral needed. Coaching is designed for people living with chronic pain of many kinds. During onboarding we match you with a coach whose specialty fits your situation.

Absolutely. The coaching relationship is everything, so you can request a new match at any time — no awkward conversations, no extra fees.
