Cortisone Injections and NSAIDs May Place Athletes at Risk
There is mounting evidence that these types of treatments may increase the risk of intracranial bleeds, tendon and ligament rupture and more.
What is the alternative to receiving these treatments? Treatments like the Graston Technique, Kinesiotape, Cold Laser, chiropractic manipulation and various soft-tissue therapies can help athletes and non-athletes alike live pain free and function optimally. There are natural substances that can help to moderate inflammation but that also allow tissues to heal without unwanted side effects.
