Management of chronic pain with low dose medications is an option for some patients who are suffering.  Employing medication management as part of a treatment for chronic pain, we work closely with the patient’s other providers to support a safe prescribing environment, including performing assessments, short and long term pain treatment plans, and monitoring the ongoing effectiveness of the pain management medications prescribed.

The type of pain management medication used depends on the type of chronic pain involved, but antidepressant, anticonvulsant, and anti-inflammatory medications are the most common. We at the Pain Clinic of Monterey Bay work with our patients to identify and implement the best medication treatment plan possible for relief from their chronic pain.
