Sports Medicine
| Today, sports medicine is not just about the athletes. It is also about the average individual like you and me. For example, the gels and creams used to treat sports related injuries can be used by patients undergoing podiatric, orthopedic treatment or physical therapy. Even individuals who have everyday aches and pains and arthritis sufferers can benefit. |
|
| Compounding in sports medicine provides better treatment options that improve outcomes. They can offer new therapies that can minimize tissue damage and ensure a rapid return to fitness. For the athlete, some formulations can be used before exercise or competition to ready the body for increased physical stress. Other preparations can be applied shortly after injury to enhance healing. |
|
| Athlete or not, tendinitis, muscle inflammation, sprains, strains or fractures, soft-tissue injuries and skin problems like cuts, rashes or abrasions can benefit from compounding. |
