PAIN MANAGEMENT
Approximately 1 in 5 Canadians suffer from chronic pain. While pain is a very subjective experience and differs from one person to another, everyone agrees that pain is not a welcomed guest in their daily life, making pain management an important component of a healthy life.
Pharmacist’s Tip

Low back pain can have various underlying causes, and in some cases, the exact source of the pain remains unidentified. If not addressed promptly, this pain can transition into a chronic condition, significantly affecting one’s quality of life. Thus, taking action to manage it is crucial.
