Free Pain Awareness Month Webinar Series Begins Sept. 9, Exploring Alternatives to Pills and Procedures

Free four-part Pain Awareness Month webinar series explores non-drug chronic pain options; Presenter Cindy Perlin, LCSW, is available for media interviews.

DELMAR, NY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — With Pain Awareness Month underway, the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory is reminding people living with chronic pain and healthcare professionals about a free four-part webinar series beginning Wednesday, September 9.

Rethinking Pain Care: Beyond Pills and Procedures will explore approaches to chronic pain that many patients may never hear about during conventional medical treatment.

The series will be hosted by Cindy Perlin, LCSW, founder of the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory, author, licensed clinical social worker and chronic pain survivor.

“People with chronic pain are often offered medications, injections or surgery without ever learning about many of the other approaches that may help,” said Perlin. “Pain Awareness Month is an opportunity to broaden that conversation and help people understand that there are many paths to pain relief.”

Four Free September Webinars

All webinars will be held Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

September 9 — Why Chronic Pain Patients Need More Than Pills and Procedures
Why persistent pain often requires a broader approach and why medications and medical procedures alone may not address all of the factors contributing to chronic pain.

September 23 — Body-Based Pain Treatments: Old and New

September 30 — Mind/Body Pain Treatments
How the brain, nervous system, emotions and stress can influence pain and how mind/body treatments may help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

The series is free and open to people living with pain as well as healthcare providers.
