Costamed Pain Control Center

Pain Management Clinics in Cozumel

 

At Costamed Cozumel, we provide medical care for patients with acute or chronic pain. Our approach is hospital-based: we perform a clinical evaluation, review any prior tests or imaging you may have, and define a treatment plan based on your diagnosis, with the goal of improving function and quality of life.

 

Medications, prescriptions, and injections: important information

This service is not a retail pharmacy for general medication dispensing. Prescribing, adjusting, and administering medications or procedures (including injections) is provided only when medically indicated and with a prescription valid in Mexico, in accordance with applicable regulations.

If you are an international patient, continuing a treatment in Mexico may require a prescription issued by a Mexico-licensed physician, following the appropriate medical evaluation.
