Pain management can be debilitating for so many people. It can prevent you from working productively, enjoying recreation, or taking pleasure in your everyday life. Chronic pain can be much more difficult to manage than acute pain, requiring a complex approach and customized treatment protocols to meet the specific needs of treating your pain.
Optimal treatment may involve the use of medications that possess pain-relieving properties, even those that you may not think of as pain medications. We can also combine many medications you’d expect to treat pain such as NSAID’s (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and local anesthetics.
One of the advantages is that combining medications can have the advantage of synergy. In the new math 2+2 can = 5. What this means is that by combining certain medications together you can have a larger effect of treating the pain than either of those medications alone.

Management Therapy:
In general, there is a societal acceptance of women and men suffering with fluctuations in hormones throughout the various stages of life. People are becoming hormonally exhausted or experiencing a reduction in hormone production at earlier ages. Unhealthy lifestyle habits and daily stressors continue to pile up. We are seeing more and more endocrine disrupting chemicals used in everyday products such as household cleaning supplies, cosmetics and skincare, preservatives in foods, manufactured pharmaceuticals, etc. Various environmental factors, emotional and physical stressors all take a toll on our hormones. These factors have the potential to create conditions for hormones to become imbalanced in the body leading to a host of unpleasant symptoms.
The good news is our bio-identical hormone restoration therapies can help you achieve balanced hormone levels to get you feeling great again! Furthermore, hormonal imbalance goes beyond simply managing unwanted symptoms. Even in the absence of symptoms, having your hormones in harmony has demonstrated reduced risk factors for diseases including dementia, heart disease, osteoporosis, and even certain types of cancers.
Neuropathic
Pain Therapy:
To avoid the risks of COX-2 inhibitors, our pharmacy can compound topically applied NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and ketoprofen. Topical NSAIDs have a safety profile which is superior to oral formulations. Topical NSAID administration offers the advantage of local, enhanced delivery to painful sites with a reduced incidence of systemic adverse effects. Topical preparations can be customized to contain a combination of medications to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Call our compounding professionals to discuss individualized treatments and non-irritating topical preparations.

Aging can be a beautiful process including gaining more knowledge, time to read or travel, and time to explore interests or spend with family and friends. Some may view aging as a downside due to physical changes in the skin. These may include loss of skin elasticity, age spots, and wrinkles to name a few. Compounding personalized skincare products can provide therapeutic treatment options for skin concerns and provide anti-aging properties.

Dermatology
Therapy:
Dentists are more than familiar working with some patients for whom a trip to the dental office brings great anxiety. Utilizing compounding pharmacy technology to help reduce potential pain and anxiety among these patients can be a great tool to improve patient outcomes and help ensure compliance.
Dentists use compounded prescriptions for various reasons including numbing the oral mucosa prior to certain invasive procedures, treating painful conditions such as burning mouth syndrome, oral mucositis, or oral lichen planus, treating xerostomia or halitosis and solving other dental-related dilemmas. For example, a compounded topical anesthetic provides a customizable dose tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Locally acting products can provide instantaneous action and extended duration times if necessary. There are rinses such at Triamcinolone oral Rinse, Dexamethasone oral rinse and various types of formulations dubbed “Magic Mouth wash.” There are many variations and that is the advantage of compounding, we can make a preparation just for your condition.
Compounded dental products may be beneficial for making a dental visit easier both for the patient and the practitioner. There are many opportunities to work together and become dental problem-solvers for patients in our community. Please reach out to the pharmacy to see if we can customize preparations necessary for you or your patients.
