Sports Medicine

Participating in any sport or fitness activity, at any level, can result in injury that may require a variety of therapies. Whatever the injury, compounded medications are available in different strengths as well as unique dosage forms to provide a personalized options. Compounded medications can help you get back into the game much faster and are not just for professional athletes but are available to everyone.

Sports Medicine Compounding can help athletes, trainers, sports team physicians, coaches, therapists, and even the amateur athletes stay out on the course, field, court or ring.

Considerations for compounding for athletes are similar to the considerations for other types of compounding. They include a patient’s:

• Weight
• Age
• Activity Level
• Allergies
• Medication Tolerance
• Injury Type

Customizing the compounding specific to the patient’s age and life style is essential in order to promote prompt healing and decrease the chances of repeat injury. We can customize medications for problems that are often unresponsive to conventional therapy.

Analgesics and anti-inflammatories often have side effects, such as drowsiness, that are problematic for an athlete of any age. We can compound medications in topical dosage forms that are absorbed through the skin and provide relief directly at the application site while reducing undesirable effects that can hamper performance.
