Chronic Pain
Everyone has pain at some time in their life. It normally ends once the injury or illness has passed. Chronic pain is different. It is pain that is ongoing and lasts more than 3 months. It is one of the most common reasons for going to the doctor.
Astonishingly, chronic pain affects 1 in 5 Australians aged 45 and over. Quality of life is severely affected.
People often find us at compoundingpharmacy.com.au when they have run out of options to effectively relieve their pain. It can be very assuring to find out how many more options you and your doctor can explore, for conditions such as;
- headache.

There are many researched treatments available to you and your doctor to explore. These treatments may be compounded when there is no off-the-shelf product on the market for that medicine, or if a different way of using the product is required, such as through the skin or under the tongue.
Prescription medicines for pain relief can be put into creams that penetrate deeply into the target tissue. Up to 4 medications may be incorporated at once to provide a highly effective, convenient cream that can be applied directly to the area that is hurting.
