Hawaiian Roots
Founded by Dr. Eric Grigsby upon opening of the Spine and Pain Center of Kaua’i (SPCK), the Kaua’i Pain Conference (KPC) is the winter counterpart to the renowned Napa Pain Conference (NapaPainConference.com).
Since 2015, KPC has become the premiere winter pain meeting.
KPC was the first conference to present the 2016 CDC Opioid Prescribing Guidelines, the 2019 HHS Best Practices in Pain Management Report, and the first pain conference to host a planning session for treating patients with pain during the COVID-19 era.
