At Thera Peak Pharmacy & Compounding, we understand that pain is a deeply personal experience, and no two patients are the same. Whether you’re dealing with acute discomfort or chronic pain, our custom-compounded medications are designed to help provide personalized relief tailored to your specific needs.
Understanding Pain: Acute vs. Chronic
Pain can manifest in many forms, but it is generally categorized into two types:
Acute Pain
Acute pain is short-term discomfort that typically arises suddenly in response to injury, surgery, or illness. It is often sharp and intense but usually resolves as the underlying issue heals. Examples include:
- Post-surgical pain
- Pain from injuries like sprains or fractures
- Dental or oral pain following a procedure
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain persists for weeks, months, or even years, often continuing beyond the expected healing period. It can range from mild to severe and may significantly impact daily life. Chronic pain often stems from ongoing conditions or nerve damage. Examples include:
- Arthritis-related joint pain
- Back and neck pain
- Neuropathic pain, such as diabetic neuropathy
- Fibromyalgia
Standard medications don’t always work for every patient. Compounding allows us to customize treatments to address individual pain conditions while minimizing side effects. By working closely with your healthcare provider, we create solutions designed to help improve your comfort and quality of life.
We prepare customized pain management solutions for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic Pain: Back pain, neck pain, and joint pain.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Neuropathic Pain: Diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and fibromyalgia.
- Sports Injuries: Muscle strains, ligament injuries, and recovery support.
- Post-Surgical Pain: Solutions to support healing and reduce discomfort.
We offer a variety of formulations and delivery methods to ensure maximum effectiveness and patient convenience:
Topical Pain Medications
- Designed to target pain locally without systemic side effects.
- Common ingredients include lidocaine, ketoprofen, gabapentin, or diclofenac.
Transdermal Gels and Creams

In addition to compounded medications, incorporating lifestyle changes such as physical therapy, exercise, and stress management can play an important role in managing pain. Your provider may recommend a holistic plan to enhance your treatment outcomes.
