“I overcame my pain by accepting it’s not only managing the pain that matters but also how well I learn to live with it”

Connecting you to the help and advice you need
Appian helps you solve your everyday pain challenges … so you and your loved ones can get on with the rest of your life.
It does so by connecting you with exactly the right people, groups and organisations who understand your pain and can help you improve your quality of life.
From alternative therapists to gardeners to domestic help to specialist pain physiotherapists, Appian searches and matches you with the pain services and help that’s perfect for you.
For loved ones, family and carers too
You may be living with a loved one or caring for a close friend who is suffering from chronic pain.
We know that you too can feel alone and frustrated, can find it difficult to locate relevant pain information and support and often can get confused over your loved one’s changing pain and moods.
Appian finds the help that you need for you as well as your loved one – when you are needing it the most.
“As my husband and carer, when Brian gets the chance to relax, he becomes a lot more patient and understanding of my pain. We then can spend better quality time together.”
