Pain can be debilitating and can be difficult to manage, sometimes requiring a different approach. Even if the underlying medical condition is under control, pain prevents patients from carrying on with their daily activities, working productively, or even enjoying themselves and their roles within their family and friend groups.

Side effects associated with oral administration can be greatly reduced when medications are used topically, such as gastrointestinal upset and constipation. A topical treatment regimen gives providers another option for pain management and an opportunity to treat pain without using opioids. Our pharmacists work together with providers and patients to provide a customized topical treatment plan to ultimately achieve relief from chronic pain.
