Medications


A Variety of medications are prescribed. Anti-inflammatories, anti-depressants and sleep medications are a few of the medications used to lessen pain symptoms.

Narcotics (opioids) may also be used to control more severe pain. Long-acting opioids are preferred when opioids are used, and if opioids are used for chronic pain management we require a signed opioid agreement. However, we emphasize many non-pharmacological pain management strategies.
