- Transdermal Therapry
Medications that relieve pain, reduce inflammation and relax muscles can have side effects that are detrimental to athletic performance, such as drowsiness. However, when these medications are adminstered transdermally, the therapeutic benefit can be enhanced while significantly reducing the risk of adverse effects.
For example, research has shown that topically applied keoprofen provides a high local concentration of drug below the site of application but decreases systemic exposure and significantly reduces the risk of gastrointestinal upset or bleeding. When properly compounded into an appropriate base, tissue concentrations of ketoprofen were found to be 100-fold greater below the application site (knee) compared to systemic concentrations.* Muscle relaxants can be similarly prepared to minimize the risk of drowsiness.
- Trigger Point Application
Pain often does not originate in the area where it is perceived, but many originate at the spinal level, and follow a nervous pathway along an entire dermatome to a trigger point. Trigger point application may be helpful when pain medications are administered transdermally, and is especially useful for treating neuropathic pain.
