Non-Opioid Treatments

There are many methods to treat chronic pain other than Opioids. Some may find that over counter (OTC) medications such as Ibuprofen (Motrin), Acetaminophen (Tylenol), and Aspirin (Bayer) are sufficient. However, for those who still struggle with pain management and require more intense therapy, there are still alternative options. Talk to your doctor or medical professional for more information on options other than opioids.
