Managing chronic pain, especially for those on long-term opiate therapy.
Managing Chronic Pain with a Safer, More Effective Approach
Chronic pain is complex, and while opioids can provide relief, long-term use—especially at high doses—can lead to serious side effects, including tolerance, dependence, and other health risks. My goal is to help you manage pain in a way that improves your quality of life without unnecessary harm.
I take a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to pain management, combining safer medication strategies with evidence-based treatments such as physical therapy, interventional procedures, and, when appropriate, alternative therapies like acupuncture. If you are on high-dose opioids and experiencing side effects, we can explore personalized options to reduce risks while still effectively managing your pain.
You don’t have to choose between pain relief and your overall health. Together, we can develop a balanced plan that helps you feel better and regain function safely.
