Recomendations

[SoccerStud]

Hello Soccer Friends,

Not sure if this is a right place to post this and if its the wrong thread then I apologize and I will move this to the right thread.

Can anyone recommend a good physio clinic? Does anyone know what is a better option for muscular injury between physio, chiropractor, and massage therapy? Also, I am experiencing a lot of pain and I am allergic to pain meds does anyone have a better solution for pain? I am open to trying vitamins, herbs, plants or whatever as long as it does not harm me.

Thank you guys, I appreciate all the feedback.

I am having issues with my hip and a hamstring. It started with a hip and now I am feeling it in my hamstring and knee. Its like a dominos effect.

Its really frustrating to have a nagging pain and that is why I am looking for an advice to pain management alternative. I have tried advil/ibuprofen, aspirin and Tylenol and nothing seem to work plus I found out that I am allergic to advil/ibuprofen. I am thinking of going to see naturopathic doctor and see if he can prescribe me something natural for pain while I get treatment.

Does anyone know of a good Naturopathic clinic?

@Yoda I would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction.

That's useful information as well, but I meant geographical area. Burnaby, Vancouver, Chilliwack?

Ideally somewhere in Vancouver or near Vancouver area

Advil/ibuprofen were a mainstay in my kit bag until 2 years ago when I too was told I'm allergic to it. Adult onset allergies, gotta love them :/

For pain, I use Tylenol(extra strength, t3 etc). They are a different family of drugs than ibuprofen. Are you allergic to Tylenol as well?

If you're looking for something to deal with swelling/inflammation then we're kind of SOL as ibuprofen/NSAIDs are great for that. Ice is our best friend for that now.

I didn't see a naturopathic doctor. I'd be interested to know how that goes. Good luck!

Not sure your age and occupation (ie sedentary) something to try:

1. Front Planks: Really focus on activating the glutes in opposition to your adductors.

2. Side Planks: standard side plank but add in lateral leg raises.
3. Piriformis Stretches: you can look these up on Google.

Do a couple of sessions. See if you notice a difference in pain and mobility (Range if motion and sensation during Piriformis stretches may be a good indicator)

Ryan Neary at Alan McGavin at UBC works on my son (same as you...hip/back stuff). He's a soccer guy and is the WFC2 physio.

I have been using ice and it does help for few hours or so but then the pain and discomfort comes back. It is kind of weird that I was never allergic to advil/ibuprofen until about few months ago. I will let you know about naturopathic doctor once I try them out.

What do you have? I will try anything....

For systemic swelling, high doses of Tumeric are good (take every day). Look for Apex Energetics K-75 Turmero Active.

For pain, focus on creams with high concentration of CBN (similar to CBD from marijuana). There is no psychoactive component to this. This is the one I use, but the description is wrong. It talks about high levels of THC - there is virtually none in this cream. But, for post soccer muscle ache, this stuff is MAGIC.

For collisions in soccer or other sporting events, take Arnica 200C. You take this right after the game (without beer, unfortunately - nothing else in mouth 15 minutes before and after) and then two more times that day. If you have been fully slammed, like in a car accident, then Arnica 1M - same instructions.

It's legible, on topic, and possibly helpful! Everything he usually isn't. We'll let it slide.

@freddy thank you for the advise. I am going to order some and try it out and let you know the feedback. Have you tried CBD? I have heard that its good for pain and it doesn't make you high like weed does. What are your thoughts on it?

I tried doing it this morning and I was having discomfort in my hip and lower back area. I am going to commit and do this for 2 weeks and see how it makes me feel. Thank you for the advice.

CBN is one of the chemicals in pot. CBD is a similar one. They both address pain receptors. I have tried both, and found CBN to be better for achy pain from sports. But, I have only found it once from the link I provided. CBD creams and oils are more available for sure. Some people find smoking pot helps. I find it helps, but not so much for pain, but rather mood and other things. When I slipped a disc in my back, a marijuana tincture was the only thing that addressed my pain, other than opioids which I refuse to take - they lay me out and I forget who I am.
