Non-Opioid Medication

Non-Opioid Medications For Pain

• Provide the newest treatment modalities such as minimally invasive nerve blocks and injections

Non-Opioid Medication options are incredibly important when treating chronic pain. Although there are times opioids are needed, today we recognize that the serious and potentially fatal risks of opioids can far outweigh their uncertain benefits. Physio Logic advocates for new and promising treatment alternatives that can potentially aid many of those living with chronic pain. With Physio Logic being an integrative health and rehabilitation center, we can often treat painful conditions using alternatives including a short course of anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, nerve pain medications, and medical cannabis, in parallel with modalities such as injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy and chiropractic care aimed at improving mechanics and functionality. . 

Our Interventional Pain Management team is led by Dr. Tanuj Palvia, MD. If you’re in pain and want to avoid taking opioids, Dr. Palvia can work with you to develop a safe and effective pain management plan.

Most of us can remember back to elementary school science when we learned about the role of our digestive tract. We learned how it helps us digest our food so we can utilize those nutrients for energy. However, that’s hardly scratching the surface on how powerful and complex the gastrointestinal system is and why gut health is central to overall health.

“ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT.” -HIPPOCRATES

This is especially true when it comes to the potential of our gut microbiome, also known as the gut flora. It is estimated that there are tens of trillions of different microorganisms in the gut, creating a unique blend of microorganisms in each and every individual. Research suggests that many health issues begin as imbalances in the digestive system. In order to help improve health, we have to get to the root of the problem, which often leads us back to resolving imbalances or issues in the digestive tract or gut microbiome. New research is also starting to show a strong connection between the gut and the brain, as well as the ability of the gut bacteria to influence neurotransmitter levels and inflammation in the body. Our diet can also trigger changes in the gut microbiome, for better or for worse. It’s important to determine which foods are best for your body’s digestive system, so you can be sure you’re not doing more harm than good. This means not only looking into food allergies and food sensitivities but also foods that generally create more inflammation in the body. Our goal is to help you get the most out of what you’re consuming, to best fuel and nourish your body.

Here’s how we evaluate gut health:

• Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Stool Analysis
• Breath Testing
• Intestinal Permeability Testing
• Bloodwork
• Questionnaires
