Over-the-counter pain relievers are less effective than prescription pain relievers. However, many of these prescription drugs are known to have side effects that could be harmful. Long-term use of prescription painkillers, particularly opioids, can result in drug tolerance and even abuse. Because of this, it’s important to manage prescriptions for chronic pain with caution, keeping balance and safety in mind.

Our pain specialsts’ ultimate goal is to enhance your ability to function and to improve your overall quality of life. We dedicate ourselves to our patients and work closely with them to ensure they are safely medicated in order to keep chronic pain to a minimum and get them back to their life before pain.
