Medication Management / Medical Marijuana

Medications are a vital part of managing both acute and chronic pain. Medications used for chronic pain include pain relievers like tylenol and ibuprofen, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, opioids and topical creams, lotions, and sprays. Each of the different medications acts differently to help alleviate pain. For example, the nonsteroidal drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen help to decrease inflammation.

Medical Marijuana is another valuable tool in managing chronic pain. Many patients are finding medical marijuana to be helpful for pain, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
