Pain Management

Pain Management

Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons that people seek medical care. According to a study conducted by the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 20.4% of US adults have chronic pain and 8% of US adults have high impact pain. High impact pain can impact work and life activities as well as lead to a decreased quality of life. Pain management can help alleviate chronic pain and allow a person to live their life more fully again.

Many of the common treatments for chronic pain come with complications of their own. These complications include addictive properties, gastrointestinal (GI) distress, drowsiness, and dizziness to name a few. Compounding allows for a targeted approach to treatment. We can tailor treatment to treat each person's unique situation. Our pharmacists are available for consultations to find the best treatment for you!
