Chronic Pain
Opiate Care
We are sensitive to those dealing with severe and acute chronic pain conditions. We continually stress a holistic care approach to our patients health with a balanced wellness plan. This way, they don’t rely solely on opioid prescriptions when dealing with chronic pain.
Things to know while on opiate care
We have been treating our patients that suffer with chronic pain for over 20 years. We promote physical therapy, acupuncture, durable medical equipment, chiropractors and ketamine therapy as safe and alternate modalities to opioid medications. Opioids are a last resort. If you’ve been experiencing pain for a prolonged period of time please contact our office. We have extensive experience and expertise to not only diagnose your condition, but also in prescribing the right treatment plan.
Opiates are under strict control
Opiates are a highly effective way of numbing a patient from the pain symptoms they are suffering from. That being said, they must be taken carefully and under a doctors direction with no deviation. There are strict laws that control the flow and production of opioid pills. This is because they are easily abused or taken for recreational purposes. Always know where your medications are and keep a close count. Getting a refill on your prescription before the due date may not be possible.
Side effects of opiate pain medications
Opioids are designed to help a patient with pain symptoms. That being said, there may be some side effects while on opiate prescriptions. We will walk you through your pain relief regiment and explain what to do if these symptoms occur. Some of these symptoms include but are not limited to:
- Constipation
- Nausea or vomiting
- Drowsiness
- Itchiness
Transitioning off opioids
Eventually, you will have to transition yourself off opiods. This should be done under our continued care and supervision. Some programs will use a combination acetaminophen and ibuprofen to assist in the quelling of pain symptoms while your dosage is reduced or completed. In addition, we have a full menu of pain relief strategies at Tristar Wellness. These include our many different pain relief programs:
- Acupuncture
- IV Vitamin Therapy
- Ketamine Treatment
- Pain Injections
