What is Pharmaceutical Compounding?

Compounding pharmacies provide personalized medication solutions tailored to individual patient needs. Unlike traditional pharmacies, which dispense mass-produced medications, compounding pharmacies specialize in customizing prescriptions. They combine pharmaceutical ingredients to create formulations in unique dosages, forms, and flavors, accommodating patients with allergies, sensitivities, or specific medical requirements. Compounding pharmacists work closely with healthcare providers to develop medications not commercially available or to alter existing formulations. This personalized approach enhances treatment efficacy, promotes patient adherence, and addresses therapeutic gaps. Overall, they offer a vital service in healthcare, ensuring tailored and effective treatments for diverse patient populations.

Our Bodies Hold Our Stories

When there is something you are not allowing yourself to feel, admit or acknowledge and we stuff the unexpressed feeling down, it becomes an energy form that stresses the body. It starts when an uncomfortable emotion doesn’t want to be felt or experienced. We ignore and bury our intolerable feelings to forget about them. This energy tenses muscles, lessens blood flow and eventually becomes illness, pain, or dis-ease. The hidden process of stuffing our emotions is called “somaticizing”. When your body is asked to hold an emotional state for too long, it begins manifesting into physical symptoms or creates an addiction to keep it at bay.

Have a Pain-Free Summer

No one wants to be in pain during the summer when there’s so much to do! Pain can prevent us from living our best summer life. As we spend more time outdoors engaging in activities like hiking, swimming, and biking, the potential for neck, back and overall muscle pain increases. Gentle, targeted spinal alignments along with soft tissue therapy release tension and pressure, relieving pain and preventing injury. This improves overall mobility, allowing you to stay active and enjoy summer to the fullest. Fortunately, maintaining your health and happiness is easier when chiropractic care is part of your summer wellness routine.
