Alternatives to Opioids for Pain Management

Join us for a pizza lunch as we learn about the common causes of chronic pain and some of the compassionate alternatives for treatment. Dr. Akintomi Olugbodi, a pain medicine specialist, will discuss conditions that cause chronic pain such as spinal stenosis, disc herniation, complex regional pain syndrome and lower back pain following back surgery. Dr. Olugbodi will also review ways to effectively manage a patient’s pain without the use of opioid medications. Some of the procedures that could be used include epidural steroid injections, radiofrequency neurotomy, spinal cord stimulation therapy and other options that can be personalized to each patient’s condition.
