Controlled Substances

Blue Mesa Medical is very strict and conservative when prescribing narcotics and controlled substances.  We do not prescribe these medicines on a routine, ongoing or long-term basis.  We believe in finding other, more appropriate and less addictive ways of controlling your long-term pain and chronic diseases.  These other means may include acupuncture, chiropractic medicine, other medications, or pain control specialists.

We do not, however, withhold pain and other medications when needed on an acute basis.  Dr. Martinez is ultimately responsible for decisions regarding these medications as the PAs are not legally authorized to prescribe controlled substances.
