Professional athletes are often required to push their bodies to the limit which can result in various physical injuries limiting their ability to continue performing at a high level. For years athletes in physical sports have turned to specially compounded topical medications to prevent injuries as well as deal with the aliments which occur after an injury. They understand tennis players and football players train much differently so of course they will require different medication strengths and combinations. These unique combinations they require are only available through specialized compounding pharmacies. Now you too can benefit from specially compounded medications which are designed specifically for you to best treat or prevent your injuries. Just because you are a weekend warrior doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from specially compounded medications like the pros. We know you can’t afford to sit on the sidelines at your full-time job so let us treat you with the best therapy available and keep you in the game.
Post-activity Preparations
Our compounding specialists will work with your prescriber to determine a formulation which provides the most benefit with the lowest risk. Anti-inflammatory medication can be applied directly to the site in order to provide faster relief while also avoiding the gastrointestinal side effects associated with this drug class. Topical anesthetic medication may also be applied in order to directly reduce pain from activity.
Pre-activity Preparations
A pregame topical rub formulation can contain numerous agents which help to prepare muscles and joints for competition. These creams, lotions, or ointments can help to “warm up” the body by increasing blood flow to the area which prepares the body for physical activity and helps to avoid injury. Some preparations include an anti-spasmodic agent in order to prevent muscles from cramping during rigorous activity. Our preparations are very different from the commercially available products which leave patients smelling like an old medicine chest. We are able to combine the agents in a pleasantly scented, non-greasy formula which absorbs quickly and leaves behind no trace of the formulation.
Treating Specific Ailments
Sometimes after that 5K fundraising race or the family flag football game patients initially may complain of joint and muscle pain, but even after that subsides you are often left with a blister, a callous, or even an athlete’s foot infection that just won’t seem to heal. Our pharmacy compounding experts also have experience creating specific combinations of drugs which are able to heal these ailments much faster than trial an error approach with many of the commercially available products on the market today.
