About PainTheory

PainTheory was created by brothers, Kevin and Eric DePopas, in Denver, Colorado. They founded PainTheory in 2018 after hearing stories from friends and family who had difficulty finding relief from chronic pain. PainTheory was created to demystify the process of finding the right care for pain and enable all Americans to make smart, confident decisions about their pain.
