Abstract Can athletes develop neuropathy? Yes. Sports neuropathies are nerve problems caused by compression, stretching, repeated impact, poor biomechanics, or direct trauma during exercise and competition. Athletes may notice burning pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, loss of grip, foot drop, or changes in coordination. Sports neuropathy can be difficult to recognize because nerve symptoms may resemble muscle strains, tendon injuries, joint problems, or spinal conditions. Research shows that careful examination, nerve testing, ultrasound, and MRI may be needed to locate the source of the problem. Treatment usually starts conservatively. Depending on the injury, care may include rest, activity changes, rehabilitation, biomechanical correction, integrative chiropractic care, nerve-mobility exercises, and medical management. Some patients may also be candidates for ultrasound-guided injections, laser therapy, shockwave therapy, or emerging regenerative treatments. Select these advanced ...
Abstract Can regenerative therapies help with gut health? Early research suggests they may have an important future role , especially by supporting repair of the intestinal lining, controlling inflammation, and influencing the gut microbiome. One area receiving attention is peptide research, including BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) . Laboratory and animal studies suggest that BPC-157 may support the protective mucosal lining, blood flow, tissue repair, and inflammatory balance. However, human research remains limited, and BPC-157 is not an FDA-approved drug for treating leaky gut, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, or other medical conditions . Research is also exploring intestinal stem cells, microbiome-based treatments, cellular therapies, and other regenerative methods. These discoveries help explain how the intestine repairs itself, but many advanced therapies remain experimental. At Injury Medical Clinic PA in El Paso, Texas, an integrative model can bring medical oversig...
