(OPEN):
TRAINING TIME CAN MEAN STRAINS AND SPRAINS, FOR THE ELITE ATHLETES
COMPETING IN BEIJING. BUT, MINOR STRAINS, SPRAINS, AND BRUISES CAN
KEEP ANY WEEKEND WARRIOR SIDELINED. DOCTOR JAY BERENTER--WHO
TREATS ATHLETES PARTICIPATING IN THE GAMES, AT THE TRAINING CENTER IN CHULA
VISTA, CALIFORNIA--SHARES THESE TIPS...
(BERENTER):
"THE BEST WAY TO STAY IN THE GAME IS TO AVOID INJURY, IN THE FIRST
PLACE: WARM UP, PAY ATTENTION TO PAIN AND OTHER SIGNALS FROM YOUR
BODY, AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR. IF YOU DO GET INJURED, IT'S
IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHEN TO GO TO A DOCTOR. THERE ARE TREATMENTS
AVAILABLE--SUCH AS 'FLECTOR® PATCH', THE FIRST AND ONLY PRESCRIPTION
PATCH CONTAINING NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PAIN-RELIEF MEDICATION.
[IT] DELIVERS THE MEDICATION DIRECTLY TO THE SITE OF PAIN. SIDE
EFFECTS ARE COMPARABLE TO PLACEBO--WITH THE MOST COMMON BEING SKIN
REACTIONS AT THE APPLICATION SITE."
(CLOSE):
SO, IF YOU'RE INSPIRED BY THE SUMMER GAMES, KEEP IN MIND THAT TREATING
ACUTE PAIN DUE TO MINOR STRAINS, SPRAINS, OR BRUISES MIGHT BE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STICKING WITH AN EXERCISE ROUTINE--AND BRINGING THAT
GOOD HABIT TO AN ABRUPT END. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT
