At Interventional Spine and Pain Center, our team of experts is highly trained in both opiate and non-opiate medication management. We understand that medications can play a critical role in managing pain, and our goal is to develop a safe and effective treatment plan that is customized to your needs. Ultimately, we aim to improve your activity level and overall quality of life, while minimizing any potential risks.
While non-opiate options are often effective, there are cases where opiate medications become a necessary option to provide relief, especially for severe or chronic pain. Opiates may be used for short-term pain management, but in certain situations, chronic opiate therapy is essential to help patients regain their quality of life and maintain an active lifestyle. In cases where long-term opiate therapy is needed, we are licensed by the state of Tennessee to carefully monitor and care for individuals requiring this type of treatment.
As part of our commitment to patient safety, we ensure that the lowest effective dose of opiate medication is used, and we closely monitor each patient throughout treatment. Our team is highly trained in minimizing the risk of addiction by applying expert protocols to reduce the chances of dependency while maintaining effective pain relief. We take a comprehensive, responsible approach to managing chronic pain with opiates, always prioritizing your safety and well-being.
Medication management at Interventional Spine and Pain Center is not just about controlling symptoms—it’s about addressing the underlying cause of your pain and helping you recover. By combining medications with other treatments, we create a personalized, balanced plan designed to help you get back to living your life to the fullest.
