Treating Pain is a Personal Journey

CHRONIC AND ACUTE PAIN CAN KEEP YOU FROM LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE.

Pain is a deeply personal and individual condition. When not treated properly, it can lead to worsening symptoms, depression, lack of sleep and other adverse conditions.

Pain is often treated with medications that cause other unpleasant downstream effects on the body. Understanding the reason or source of your pain and getting it under control while doing the least amount of
harm to the body is critical to helping you live a full life.

That’s where Purescripts comes in. We work with you through consultation to help you identify the type and source of your pain—whether neurological, myofascial, soft tissue, joint pain or injury related.

We consider your lifestyle and family history and then we work with you to carefully create a plan to help you start feeling better.

Pain & Side Effect Managment Options

GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE TO BUILD A LASTING SOLUTION

Our team at Purescripts can help you manage some of these side effects through supplementation and by working with you and your doctor to alter the type of medication or compounding a specialty dose.

We can also consult with you on the health of your gut and nutrition. Sugar feeds pain, so we may work with you to modify your diet.

Sometimes the medications being prescribed are masking the underlying condition, so we work with you to get to the root cause of your pain so we can help build a lasting solution for you.

Our compounding services include several pain creams, ointments, and gels. In addition, we can use our acuscope and myoscope equipment to treat pain.
