Helps For Mild to Moderate Injuries

If you are a professional or amateur athlete, you are all too familiar with be side-lined by minor injuries. I remember training for a marathon and my biggest fear was getting injured somehow in the last week of training.

An Example of Ice Wave Patch Use

I am not a great skier, but I am the best faller I know. Maybe it has something to do with my springboard diving and trampoline training as a kid. Anyway, I was headed down a somewhat narrow run with a very unsure skier ahead of me. He was going to fall, and I was trying to guess which way would be the best way around. I guessed wrong as at the last moment he switched directions, and I had to make a sudden change before I could fully shift my weight and down, I went too. This was not a good fall, and I could feel the rapidly increasing tightness in my back. We had some 2000 ft of vertical elevation to transverse or maybe 10 minutes of fast skiing to get to the car and then a half hour drive home. I told my wife that we had better head down immediately because I was on borrowed time. That evening in spite of being on a good dose of ibuprofen, the only position I could be comfortable in was on my hands and knees. Everything else was pretty bad. Then I remembered the IceWave Patches. We got some out of the cupboard and put a brown on the left of my low back and a white one on the right. Within 15 seconds, about 80% of the pain was gone. I was happy as you might imagine.

I take this type of injury very seriously as during my 40+ years in chiropractic I have seen way too many lives ruined by injury and more importantly improper management of these injuries. For general injury recovery, we have excellent results with chiropractic, infrasonic, cold laser, electric stim and hyperbaric treatment. Every injury phase has its own challenges.

First Few Days

The first few days you will want to take supplements that help your body deal with the torn and leaking tissues. Arthur Andrew Neprofin can be a big help. Neprofin is formulated to help speed recover from your injury. I have already mentioned LifeWave IceWave Patches. These are designed to stimulate your body's ability to remove the inflammation. Some chronic issues respond well to these too. These patches can be a simple and important part of the healing process. We also recommend Protocol Chondroitin Glucosamine MSM. This product has long used ingredients that we have seen do wonders over the years, especially for any injury out of the acute phase. Related items below!
