Homeopathic Treatment For Injuries

During my amateur and professional careers I have experienced many different injuries and traumas. I have had everything from severely torn ligaments to serious muscle strains and pulls, back pain and whiplash, concussions, deep bruising and abrasions (turf burn), and a partially separated shoulder. I truly wish that homeopathy had been there when I was still playing.

While homeopathy is an integral part of injury therapeutics in Europe, in North America homeopathy is virtually unknown in this capacity. Being a professional homeopath and retired professional athlete, I have a unique perspective on what homeopathy has to offer today’s athletes, and the pressures that athletes face to “get back out there”. Homeopathy goes beyond helping just athletes and can help any one with major trauma:

• Control and eliminate pain, inflammation and bleeding
• Reduce recovery times and accelerate healing
• Homeopathy is probably the best form of medicine for any kind of head trauma and the lasting effects of concussion. Many athletes are forced to retire early due to head injury
• As a drug free therapeutic which reduces the need for long term anti-inflammatory use. From my experience long term anti inflammatory use can also contribute to injury and lengthen recovery times
• Homeopathy can remove chronic susceptibility to getting sick or injured. Some athletes find that they are predisposed to certain types of colds/flues or injuries. Homeopathy can significantly reduce or remove those tendencies
• Post surgery recovery and infection. Homeopathy is excellent for treating post operatively pain, inflammation and infection
• As a first aid therapeutic for the treatment of bowel trouble, colds, digestive upset, eye infection, food poisoning, travel sickness etc… homeopathy is invaluable
• Prevention: Homeopathy is a great form of preventative medicine for travel sickness, flu, colds and other communicable diseases. Imagine preventing a cold or flu from going through the locker room? It is possible with homeopathy
• Performance anxiety – for many this can be reduced or eliminated with the correct homeopathic remedy; without any loss of perception or mental alertness
• Athletes using the services of a professional homeopath can gain a valuable edge on the competition
