Non-Opioid Therapy

Chronic pain, which can be caused by many medical conditions and syndromes with different pathophysiologies, is an important and common medical concern worldwide. In the United States, pain is the most common complaint that leads patients to seek medical care. Although opioid use for acute/post-surgical pain and for palliative care is accepted in the United States, controversy continues among pain practitioners concerning the use of opioids for the treatment of chronic pain. More recently, this controversy has resurfaced, in part through press and media reports of opioid medication abuse and alleged practitioner misconduct.

Opioid Therapy

Opioids can be taken safely for pain relief. For safety reasons, we refill opioid medications during the office visit. All prescribed medications will be electronically faxed to your local pharmacy. We have a monitoring program to test the medications that are being prescribed to you. For us to safely provide opioid therapy to our community, we must uphold the highest standard of care. Online prescription monitoring is maintained in this office on a regular basis. The following brochure links will review the potential risks and benefits of opioid therapy, and what you can expect once you start taking an opioid medication.
