We consider that treatment of pain as another of our big priorities. After working in collaboration with doctors and patients for many years, we now have enough knowledge to provide valuable help to people recovering from diseases and injuries.
After more
than seven years of research, we designed a unique protocol for a medicine that
is applied directly over the injury site; it penetrates deep under the skin,
delivering the medicine exactly to the injury location. As this medication is
applied directly on the injury site, very little amount is absorbed by the blood
to cause side effects that can be very unpleasant and even dangerous, so reducing
the risk of having side effects can be a very important benefit. Also, the injury
gets more medication with topical application than with traditional, orally
administrated pills since it doesn’t have to pass by the gut. It starts
to work directly on the pain source, providing faster pain relief and healing
to the patient.
Most compounding pharmacies, just like we did seven years ago, instruct their
patients to apply the medication to the area of the body that hurts, assuming
that it is the location where the pain takes root. However, after close analysis,
we realized that that technique often does not completely satisfy our patients
and we now understand the reasons.
The topical medicine can only penetrate below the section of the skin where it is applied; however, the pain does not always come from the location where one actually experiences its effects. Therefore, to achieve better results, it is of great importance to determine the precise location of the injury and to apply the unique topical medication exactly at the site of injury that is often not the same as the site of pain.
As each person and each injury is different, we consider of great importance to meet with each of our patients individually to help him determine the exact site of injury where to apply the medication. We also think that it is necessary to discuss with the patients the dietary changes and nutritional supplements that can best aid in the healing of injury as well as in the improvement of sleeping habits and in the reduction of pain. The consultation is always free of charge and usually one session in the beginning of the treatment is enough even though free extra consultations are available at any time the patient would have questions about the medications or supplements we offer.
| Arthritis | Fibromyalgia | Neuropathic Pain |
| Ankle Pain | Foot Pain | etic Neuralgia |
| Back Pain | Gout | Post Herp |
| Burning Foot Syndrome | Head, Neck, and Facial Pain | RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) |
| Carpal Tunnel Syndrome | Knee Pain | Shingles |
| CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome) | Migraines | Shoulder Pain |
| Diabetic Neuropathy | Muscle Spasms | Tennis Elbow |
The following
is a list of the delivery vehicles into which
we incorporate medications for the treatment of pain:
| Capsules | Suppositories |
| Lozenges | Flavored oral suspensions |
| Nasal sprays | Topicals - gels, creams, and solutions |
Any combination
of the following types of
medications can be incorporated into these delivery vehicles:
| Anti-inflammatory agents |
| Magnesium Glycinate Capsules* |
| Muscle relaxers |
| Anti-nausea agents |
|
Neuropathic agents |
*We
recommend that Magnesium Glycinate Capsules be used in combination with prescription
medications for patients who experience muscle spasms, neuropathic pain, or
difficulty with sleeping.
The mineral magnesium
is a critical co-factor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the human
body, and magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system. Studies
have suggested that the typical American diet does not provide people with
an adequate amount of magnesium for proper functioning of the body. Supplementation
with magnesium can therefore provide nearly universal health benefits.
Most magnesium supplements come in the form of Magnesium Oxide. This form of magnesium is often poorly absorbed by the body and can cause diarrhea in some patients. At our pharmacy, we compound Magnesium Glycinate Capsules as an over the counter supplement. This form of magnesium is very well absorbed by the body.
Positive feedback from our patients who have tried our Magnesium Glycinate Capsules has been overwhelming.
