"In October 2023, the opioid shortage worsened due to tightening regulations, production cuts resulting from quota reductions, and efforts to prevent diversion. The lack of communication from pharmaceutical companies and the DEA, along with the absence of federal action to increase production, has left patients and healthcare providers struggling with limited access to essential pain medications."
​
We apologize for this situation, which is beyond our control. CPMC remains committed to providing alternative pain relief options that are comparable or superior.

I have been suffering from chronic back pain for many years. I have tried all sorts of treatments, from medication to physical therapy, but nothing seemed to work until I tried Dr. Diesfeld's epidural injection treatment. Now I can do the things I love again.
