Motocross Injuries: Reducing Pain, Inflammation and Excess Scar Tissue


You Know Injuries, We Know Enzymes

All lined up, motors revving, waiting for the gate to drop before ripping down the start-straight to grab the holeshot as the first lap is underway. Adrenaline pumping as the 30 second board girl hits the track. This is the when preparation meets opportunity. What many spectators don't realize is the physical demand and endurance required to race motocross. So much preparation goes into racing from bike to body. From fine-tuning the suspension and engine to conditioning, practice and nutritional regimen, everything plays a part in the outcome of a race. While a rider could be completely dialed in, one thing they are not immune from is injury. In the extreme sport of motocross racing, many riders will tell you it's not a matter of if but when and how serious. Not every rider is the same, for some, giving up isn't even an option; they rehab their bodies to make a comeback because passion outweighs risk. The drive is incredible! For others, injury cuts their career short.

According to Motocross Action, "The most commonly broken bone in motocross is the collarbone. Medical sources claim it only takes 7 pounds of pressure to break it. Collarbones are usually broken by falling on the point of the shoulder, impacting the ground with your upper torso or hitting the ground hard with one arm above your head" (April 2013/Motocross Action, pg 107).

Ten Things to Know About Injuries:


(1) Injuries & Inflammation
Whether an injury is minor or major, it is important to remember that nearly every injury results in an inflammatory component and buildup of excess scar tissue. If pain isn't taken care of in the acute phase, it can become chronic pain. 

(2) Injuries & Age
Ever wonder why younger riders heal faster than older riders? The answer, enzymes. The body naturally produces enzymes, however, the physical demand motocross requires depletes your enzyme levels faster than most people creating an enzyme deficiency. When you are younger, your body has an ample amount of enzymes to travel to the injured area to reduce inflammation and swelling quickly.

(3) Injuries & Over-Training
Over-training increases your chances of injury and slows your recovery time. Implementing a well-balanced Systemic Enzyme into your training regimen will help reduce muscle soreness following intense training.

(4) Injuries & Enzyme Depletion
Face it. If you aren't supplementing, you are depleting. Enzymes are responsible for over 3,000 chemical reactions within your body including metabolic function, growth, immune system support and natural healing. They should be a viral part of any recovery regimen.

(5) Injuries & Scar Tissue
Injuries requiring operation often leave behind excess scar tissue. While scar tissue is an essential part of the healing process, it is the buildup of scar tissue that causes pain in the injured area down the road. Research has shown Systemic Enzymes to safely eat away excess or dead scar tissue and eliminate it out of the body.

(6) Injuries & Toxins
Training, racing and injury can create a buildup of toxins in the body such as lactic acid. If these toxins are not taken care of, they can have a negative effect on recovery and hinder your ability to practice at peak performance.  Systemic Enzymes like Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend helps cleanse the blood and eliminate toxins, which in turn improves circulation.

(7) Injuries & Painkillers
Prescription painkillers and over the counter drugs such as ibuprofen simply put a band aid on pain without getting to the root problem. Overtime, they can both cause severe damage to the liver and organs in addition to prescriptions being highly addictive. Innerzyme's natural blend has no side effects and offers a safe and effective solution to get to the root of the pain and inflammation.

(8) Injuries & Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and strength training are commonly part of any recovery program. Often times, the frequency is limited by natural response inflammatory flare-ups. Time is usually recommended in between sessions to allow for inflammation to reduce in the aggravated and inflamed area. Physical Therapists, Chiropractors and Sports Injury Specialists are complementing their treatments with Innerzyme to help reduce the inflamed area faster, which in turn shortens the rest time previously needed between sessions.

(9) Injuries & Preventative Health
Think preventative rather than reactive when it comes to sports injury and healing. Many riders wait for pain to get in the way of riding before they address the problem. Taking a low dose of Innerzyme as a daily training supplement will help your body respond more quickly to the daily wear and tear placed on the body allowing you more time to focus on training.
