Medication Management
Medication compliance is highly controlled and closely monitored by a pain physician and in close communication with a patient's primary care physician.
Our pain specialists utilize several medication options to treat chronic pain, in conjunction with interventional or other treatments as part of a patient’s plan of care.
Medication recommendations may range from over-the-counter options to prescriptions. To evaluate the most optimal approach, a thorough assessment will be completed. If appropriate, one or a combination of the following medication types may be suggested, and/or prescribed with ongoing safety and compliance monitoring:
- NSAID medications
- Acetaminophen
- Oral steroid medications
- Nerve pain medications (anticonvulsants)
- Muscle relaxers
