Precision Compounding for Athletic Performance and Recovery
California’s athletes — from weekend surfers and golfers to competitive runners and professionals — demand therapies that can keep up with their performance goals. Compounded medications allow providers to tailor treatment to each athlete’s injury type, activity level, and recovery needs.
A&O Compounding Pharmacy works closely with orthopedic specialists, physical therapists, and sports medicine providers to create precision formulations that support faster healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance mobility — helping athletes return to peak condition with confidence.
