Our compounding services provide customized pain relief options designed to help address specific conditions, sensitivities, and treatment goals.

Common Conditions Treated
We offer compounded pain management solutions to help address a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Our personalized formulations are designed to target specific sources of pain while accommodating individual needs. These include:
Arthritis
Our topical formulations include anti-inflammatory agents like ketoprofen and analgesics such as lidocaine, providing localized relief without the systemic side effects of oral medications.
Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain, such as that caused by diabetic neuropathy, shingles, or sciatica, often requires targeted therapies. Our customized options include nerve-specific medications in topical forms for localized application or oral formulations for systemic treatment.
Muscle Pain and Spasms
We offer targeted therapies containing muscle relaxants like baclofen or cyclobenzaprine, combined with anti-inflammatory agents such as ibuprofen or diclofenac, to provide comprehensive relief.
Fibromyalgia
Our compounded options include a blend of ingredients like low-dose naltrexone or gabapentin to address widespread pain and tenderness. Topical formulations can help reduce localized discomfort, while oral formulations target systemic symptoms, allowing for greater customization based on patient needs.
Chronic Back and Neck Pain
Our compounded creams or gels can include combinations of anti-inflammatory agents,muscle relaxants, and anesthetics, such as lidocaine, ketoprofen, or cyclobenzaprine. These formulations are ideal for providing targeted relief without the side effects associated with oral medications.
Post-Surgical Pain
Recovering from surgery can be challenging, but our non-opioid compounded medications help manage pain while supporting healing. We create topical or oral formulations with ingredients to minimize discomfort and reduce reliance on traditional painkillers
Migraine and Headaches
Our innovative treatments include topical formulations or oral medications tailored to reduce frequency and severity.
Common Compounded Preparations
We offer a range of compounded medications designed for pain management, including:
- Topical Creams and Gels: These formulations deliver active ingredients directly to the affected area, targeting pain at its source while minimizing systemic absorption and potential side effects.
- Oral Suspensions and Capsules: Customized dosages and combinations ensure that each treatment is tailored to the patient’s needs. This flexibility is essential for those with specific pain management requirements or sensitivities to commercially available medications
- Suppositories: A practical option for patients who cannot take oral medications.
Frequently Asked Questions About Compounded Pain Medications
How do compounded medications differ from standard prescriptions?
Compounded medications differ from standard prescriptions because they are specially formulated to meet individual patient needs. Unlike commercially available medications, compounded prescriptions can combine multiple active ingredients into a single preparation, customize dosages for precise treatment, or exclude allergens and irritants such as dyes, preservatives, or fragrances
Are compounded pain medications safe?
Yes, compounded medications are prepared by licensed pharmacists following strict guidelines to ensure quality set forth by the state board of pharmacy and the FDA.
Can compounded medications reduce the need for opioids?
In some cases, yes. Compounded medications can help provide targeted relief or provide alternative agents to help minimize the reliance on opioids, which in turn can help reduce the risk of dependency or side effects.
How do I apply topical compounded medications?
We provide clear instructions with every prescription, and our pharmacists are available to answer any questions you may have to ensure proper application and optimal results.
