When you or someone you love is dealing with chronic pain, it can impact almost every aspect of life.
Treatments for Pain Management
Opioid medications are associated with high risk and limited long-term benefit for chronic non-cancer pain. We do not take over opioid prescribing for patients with chronic non-cancer pain. We will help your primary care or referring provider determine if you might be a good candidate for chronic opioid-based medications for pain management. In such cases, we will work with your healthcare provider to develop an appropriate, usually no/low dose, opioid regimen. Your referring provider may opt to continue or start opioid medications. In certain cases, we will temporarily prescribe opioid medications after you have signed an agreement with your referring healthcare provider stating he or she will take over prescribing responsibilities after a safe dose has been established.
