Pain Management

There are several different compounds available for chronic conditions such as arthritis, migraines, plantar fascitis, postherpetic neuralgia, injuries, and muscle strains. For athletes, pain relief compounds are also available for swelling, muscle pain, and stresses on joints such as wrists and ankles. When medications like muscle relaxants, NSAIDS, steroids, and narcotics pass through the digestive tract and are metabolized by the liver, they can lose potency resulting in a lose of effectiveness. Transdermal gels, topical creams, and solutions can all be compounded and used to begin treating pain at its trigger point, strengthening the effects of relief.
