How do you Treat Recreational Athletes?
Led by baby boomers, sports injuries have become the number two reason for visits to doctor’s offices. According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics study, middle-aged adults were the source of 488 million days of restricted work in 2002. Ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows, hips and the lower back are all vulnerable to injury. Sports and gardening can cause both minor and major injury. Practitioners may see both serious athletes and weekend warriors in their middle-aged clientele. Baby boomers may be playing a game of backyard catch while at the barbecue and hear something snap, while other patients may injure a hamstring as part of their training for the Ironman Triathlon. Patients may be visiting your office due to pain caused by surgery. For example, many of the people we have seen who have undergone reconstructive knee surgery are often in excruciating pain and are ill-prepared for the pain medications or exercises necessary as part of the extensive rehabilitation process, while other clients re-injure themselves by returning to action before their bodies are ready.
Health Concerns has several powerful options for injury recovery and pain control. Resinall K is used topically and internally before athletic activity to prevent inflammation and soreness, after an injury has occurred and to aid recovery following surgery. Resinall E contains similar herbs, proteolytic enzymes from four different sources to offer broad-spectrum action and rutin, a bioflavonoid used in the treatment of injuries. For best results use 1/2 dropperful of Resinall K or 2-3 capsules of Resinall E, three or four times per day. Channel Flow is a modern formula that contains specially processed corydalis (yan hu suo) and other supportive herbs to relieve pain and cramping, and is natural alternative to NSAIDs.
