September 05, 2022
September is National Pain Awareness Month
This month was created to increase the awareness about the effects of pain and to open the lines of communication in our local communities, so that pain can be better understood and managed.
Did you know?
• Pain affects more than Americans than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined.
• 80% of people in the U.S. will experience back pain at some point in their lives.
One of our top priorities at Spine & Joint Pain Specialists is to spread awareness and educate our patients about treatments options available to alleviate painful conditions.

Fiesta 2022 is Here!
Fiesta Week, also known as Fiesta San Antonio and previously known as Fiesta San Jacinto, is a 10-day festival that started in 1891 as a flower parade dedicated to the heroes who lost their lives in the battles of San Jacinto and The Alamo.
Fiesta has grown to host over 100 events that feature parades, music, food, military and patriotic observances, and pageantry. It is a true celebration of San Antonio’s rich and diverse heritage, culture, and spirit!

Grateful and Thankful for You!
We hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. We are so grateful for your continued trust in our team!
As the leaves turn to gold (in some parts of Texas), and the fireplaces become active once more, we look forward to continuing our goal of making your pain more tolerable.
