Medicines are the starting point for any pain treatment regime. Milder forms of pain may be relieved by over-the-counter medications such as paracetamol or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Both paracetamol and NSAIDs relieve pain caused by muscle aches and stiffness, and reduce inflammation (swelling and irritation). Topical pain relievers are also available, such as creams, lotions, or sprays that are applied to the skin in order to relieve pain and inflammation from sore muscles and arthritis.
If over-the-counter drugs do not provide relief, pain physicians may prescribe stronger medications, such as muscle relaxants, anti-anxiety drugs, antidepressants, opioids tablets & skin patch At impulse pain clinic, we advice you the correct drug therapy route to take to get the most effective relief from your pain conditions.
