Compounding
Pain Management
Personalized Relief Through Custom Compounding
In today’s fast-paced world, pain is an all-too-common part of life. According to the National Center for Health Statistics (2006), approximately 76 million Americans—roughly 1 in 4—experience pain lasting 24 hours or more.
Pain is generally categorized into two main types:
Acute Pain: Sudden in onset and sharp in nature, acute pain typically lasts less than six months and subsides once the underlying cause—such as an illness or injury—has been treated.
Chronic Pain: Persistent and long-lasting, chronic pain continues for more than six months and may remain even after the original condition has healed. It can significantly impact an individual’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Common conditions associated with chronic pain include:
- Arthritis
- Cancer-related pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Migraines and headaches
- Lower back pain
- Multiple sclerosis
- Neuropathy
- Shingles
Effective chronic pain management requires a collaborative approach between the patient, physician, and pharmacist. At Physicians’ Choice Infusion Pharmacy, we offer custom-compounded medications tailored to your unique needs, as prescribed by your doctor.
Unlike standard commercial medications, compounded formulations allow for:
- Combination therapies that target multiple pain pathways for improved relief
- Customized strengths and dosage forms
- Reduced pill burden by combining medications
- Alternatives for patients who experience gastrointestinal discomfort from oral tablets and capsules
Our compounded pain relief options include topical creams, gels, foams, and more—designed for enhanced absorption and fewer systemic side effects.
A valid prescription is required for compounded pain medications. Speak with your physician about personalized pain management options, or contact our compounding pharmacists for more information.
