Compounding for Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Neuropathic Pain

Compounding offers several solutions to help ease the pain of arthritis, neuropathy or other types of joint pain.  Oral medications expose the whole body to the effects of that medication which may lead to unwanted side effects, drug interactions or worsening of other diseases.

Transdermal gels which are applied to the site of pain provide a great option for you to target your pain.  Transdermal gels are compounded using a special penetration enhansing base to help drive certain medications through the skin to the underlying cause of your pain.  These madications can include:

• Anti-inflammatories
• Anasthetics
• Medications to block neuropathic pain

Very little of this medication actually gets absorbed into your bloodstream making it a safer alternative to oral medications which expose your whole body.
