Medication Management

Medication management is a common method of pain treatment. Medication can help patients in pain lead a more active life. Medications work best when combined with other pain management methods, such as exercise, relaxation, tobacco cessation and weight loss (if needed). All APM physicians are trained in medication management. Each patient may respond differently to any medication. Medications are chosen based on their prospective benefit, cost, potential for side effects and the patient’s other medical conditions.
