About Pain Management

Pain is one of the most common reasons people consult a physician, yet frequently it is inadequately assessed and under treated, leading to enormous social and financial costs in the form of needless suffering, lost productivity, and excessive health care expenditures. Much progress has been made in recent years in understanding the origin and progression of pain, yet many health care professionals are untrained in proper pain management.


Chronic pain is not a single entity but rather may have a myriad of causes and contributing factors. Therefore, chronic pain can be much more difficult to manage than acute pain, requiring a multi-disciplinary approach and customized treatment protocols to meet the specific needs of each patient.


Chronic pain afflicts 10-20% of the adult population; half of which are inadequately treated for their chronic pain but could be relieved of it if given proper treatment. Forms of chronic pain include:

  • Neuropathic Pain
  • Post Mastectomy Pain
  • Phantom Limb Pain
  • Musculoskeletal (back, knee, hip) Pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Migraine
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Cancer pain


Successful long-term pain management is achieved by including the physician, patient, family, and other health care providers in decision making and treatment plans. Patients with pain or other distressing symptoms that persist despite the best efforts of their current health care provider should request a referral or seek specialists in pain management or palliative care.


Our compounding pharmacists have received advanced training in the preparation of customized dosage forms to meet their patients’ specific needs. We offer many unique options for pain management, regardless of pain origin and whether pain is acute or chronic. By working together with a patient, their physician, and other members of their health care team, we can individualize medications and make necessary adjustments to maximize pain relief and minimize side effects. It can mean the difference of securing a sense of normalcy, a better quality of life, basic independence, or even mental/emotional stability for our patients. Chronic pain can be life-altering and we see it as our job to alleviate it as much as possible. Contact us so we can help you and your loved ones live happier and healthier.
