Peptide Therapy for Athletic Recovery

Peptide therapy has shown promise in athletic recovery due to its role in cellular repair and inflammation reduction.

BPC-157, TB-500, and MGF

This combo stimulates the natural repair mechanisms of the body, reduces inflammation, modulates the immune response and stimulates collagen.

Non- Surgical Interventions

Avoid activities that may cause injury.
High-pressure local cryotherapy can be applied to the injured site to ease the pain and swelling. It should be kept over the affected area for about fifteen to twenty minutes, four times a day for several days.
Compression of the injured site will reduce the swelling. Elastic wraps, air casts, and splints can be used for this purpose.
Elevate the injured part above the chest level to reduce swelling and pain.
Avoid activities that trigger symptoms and change your lifestyle.
Regular exercise regimen to strengthen muscles and improve range of motion.
Anti-inflammatory medication, peptides, and herbs, when indicated, can reduce inflammation and pain.

If the above measures do not work, then a cortisone injection may be helpful. It is a very effective anti-inflammatory medicine for conditions such as bursitis and is a long-term pain reliever for tears and structural damage.
