Pain Management

Chronic pain is one of the most common conditions treated by doctors today. Patients often report a reduction in quality of life and other related symptoms like deteriorated mental health.

Effective pain management is the best approach and the fastest way to return to a better quality of life.

Reduced Side-Effects

Many patients report having adverse side effects to mainstream pain-relief medication, including headaches, nausea, disorientation, weight gain or loss and long-term side effects. Difficulty in swallowing pills or tablets is also another deterrent for patients when it comes to pain relief.

Compounded medication can be delivered in various forms such as Creams, Foams, Gels, Lozenges, Nasal Sprays and Suppositories.

Customised solutions

Compounded medications offer a pain management solution tailored to your specific symptoms and conditions to ensure minimal side effects.

By assessing any existing or underlying health issues, as well as your current symptoms, we can offer a customised option to manage your pain.

Patients taking several medications can often have a combined solution created, offering a convenient single dosage.

Compounded Pain solutions in conjunction with your specialist can help manage pain through:

• Chronic Pain Management plans
• Medication management
• Specific single or combination formulations
