Building a pain management plan is essential to ensure personalized, effective and safe treatment. It helps both you and your provider explore all available options and reduce the risk of using opioid while promoting faster recovery and improved quality of life.

No matter how big or small your surgery may be, it’s important to be aware of certain details beforehand. You may require surgery due to a medical condition or emergency, or perhaps you’ve decided to have an elective surgery (a surgery that is scheduled and does not involve a medical emergency). Either way it’s important to ask your doctor questions about what you can expect after surgery, including your options for managing pain.
