Medication management for acute or chronic pain can be complex. There are several classes of medications used to treat pain, and it is important to make sure your specialist or doctor helps make sure your child is utilizing medications safely and effectively. Multi-modal pain medication management, along with procedure-based therapies if appropriate, is the best way to achieve long-term pain control.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is my child a candidate for medication management?
Your child may be a candidate for medication management if they have an acute or chronic pain condition that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter pain medications, or if they have been prescribed pain medications that is still inadequately controlling pain. To determine if your child is an ideal candidate for medication management, schedule a consultation with our practice.
What can I expect when receiving medication management?
While receiving medication management, you and your child will be required to come in for follow-up visits roughly every three months to monitor progress and make sure your child is not having any side effects from medications.
