Repetitive Stress Injuries
How can Cor-X pain cream help with repetitive stress injuries
Our specially formulated unique blend of 17 homeopathic remedies work synergistically to help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with repetitive stress injuries. It works by stimulating the body’s own natural healing tendencies, not by simply masking the pain. Its effect is cumulative and improves with continued application and can be subtle because the pain is not suppressed as with other products but is relieved by the body’s own naturally occurring endorphins that are released during the healing process that our cream stimulates. The outcome then will be long lasting as the body’s own healing mechanisms have been activated.
