It has become increasingly evident that when it comes to sports performance, society - from professional athletes to weekend warriors to our children - means business.Fortunately, with the magnifying glass positioned strongly on the dangers of steroids, the public is seeking safe, valid alternatives to maximize their physical performance and competitive drive. However, the incidence and recurrence of sports-related injuries has taken a sharp upturn as well.
Homeopathy offers new breakthroughs in the realm of sports enhancement not available from any other adjunct. Homeopathy offers fast, safe, and all-natural results for athletic injuries, muscle enhancement, and sports performance issues, and brings new tools to help maximize the quality of the care you provide your patients.

Homeopathic formulas work to activate the body's bioenergetic power to overcome the common health issues associated with sports-related activities. It is important to note that the FDA accepts and approves homeopathic ingredients not only for injuries and pain, but also for muscle development and performance enhancement.
Homeopathic ingredients are specifically inclined to relieve sore, weak, and injured muscles; stiffness of muscles and/or joints; bruising; and even buildup of lactic acid in the muscles. The potency of the individual ingredients will address different areas in the body. With multiple potencies of the same ingredient, a homeopathic formula can deal with issues from the superficial level, all the way to the emotional and mental arenas. For the athlete needing a competitive edge, this is the safest, most efficient way to stay focused and healthy.
Many new homeopathic formulas include multiple ingredients in a variety of strengths, so that the user experiences a synergistic effect of the total formula. Use is far easier as well; traditional alcohol tinctures or sugar-based tablets do not afford the versatility of sprays and highly therapeutic value of both the oral and topical application. With a spray application, there is no opening or closing, spillage, measuring, or contamination, not to mention the ease of one-handed administration. Newer formulations take advantage of a pure-water base, making topical application possible, providing a more individualized protocol for patients. They may use the exact method of application (topical, oral or both) to maximize therapeutic value.
Cultural shifts in health care hold great promise for the holistic-style practice. Most patients are open to new procedures and ideas, and they have a desire to explore alternative therapies to answer their health care needs. And within this receptive environment is a burgeoning competitive network of practitioners: chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, nutritionists, homeopaths, massage therapists, etc. In this environment, what separates the general alternative practitioners from the most successful ones is the application of more effective and efficient protocols. In the vast ocean of emerging health products, procedures, and professions, the most successful practitioners will be the ones getting the fastest, most effective, and most cost-efficient results.
The public is plagued with chronic, recurring health problems. The doctor who is able to help the majority of these people in less time and with less financial outlay has all the ingredients for a successful practice. However, to meet today's health care challenges, innovation is mandatory.
Contemporary application of homeopathy combines the great, time-tested ability of homeopathy and faster procedures to help the broadest spectrum of unrelenting and persistent health problems. The doctor who helps people with health problems that other doctors cannot is the doctor everyone wants to see. The insurance companies - as well as the public - will promote this doctor.
- Educate yourself about exactly how homeopathy works. The more understanding you possess about what homeopathy can do, the more likely you are to extend that knowledge to your patients. This leads to the next vital step in building your practice:
- Educate your patients about homeopathy. Education is to your patients what location is to real estate. The more they understand your objectives, the more compliant they will become.
- Select an easy homeopathic product to use. As discussed, contemporary homeopathic products are far easier and more convenient to use than old-school, classical products. Never forget that convenience creates compliance.
- Select a homeopathic manufacturer/supplier that offers support for your questions as well as suggestions on exactly how to implement homeopathy into your practice. You may want to present promotional literature and recorded lay lectures to your patients, to give them the confidence that they are being offered the best care possible.
- Make sure to look for the initials "HPUS" on the labels of products you select. Homeopathic medicines are made from official homeopathic ingredients recognized by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS), which works closely with the FDA. The initials "HPUS" on the label assure that each permissible ingredient has been reviewed for efficacy, toxicity, adverse effects, and clinical effectiveness.
Homeopathy offers a deeper-acting therapy to better address the roots of disease. Remember that nutrition and supplements work on a biochemical level, but homeopathy works bioenergetically, to correct nerve interferences throughout the whole nervous system. It is common to observe the correction of recurring subluxation patterns using homeopathy, indicating its deeper, curative effect(s).
When the energetic control systems of the body (like the nervous system) work properly, everything else works better, and the body's chemistry will balance more easily. Every chemical within the body has a very specific charge to respond and do what it is told by the energetic control system, so when the total control systems of the body function better, the supportive therapies will work much better, too. Conversely, when the control systems of the body are not working properly, these therapies cannot achieve their maximized effect.
People want to see the doctor with answers to their problems. It's that simple. Homeopathy offers the fastest, simplest, and most comprehensively thorough adjunct to enhance any chiropractic practice. The contemporary procedures in homeopathy have turned this once-complex healing art into an easy and effective approach for the high-volume office. These breakthrough procedures allow the practitioner to help the most people with a broad scope of health problems in less time and with less expense.
