Braunlich Orthopedics recognizes the benefit of opioid/narcotic medication for patients experiencing joint replacements, fractures, and other surgical procedures. Controlled medications are not used in this practice to manage chronic conditions.

​

If our doctor prescribes a controlled medication for you, the goal is always to use the least amount of medication for the shortest amount of time to manage your pain.

​

We will adhere to all state and federal regulations as well as insurance limitations when prescribing opioids/narcotics. Please be aware of the high potential for misuse and addiction regarding controlled medications and follow our conservative use of opioids/narcotics.
