Abstract
The location and accessibility of community pharmacies put pharmacists in the ideal position to assist patients with the appropriate management of soft-tissue sports injuries. Pharmacists should, therefore, be able to provide appropriate advice and recommendations. Research has indicated that effective early management can reduce pain, promote rapid healing, and shorten rehabilitation. Advances in non-pharmacological measures include a new acronym, PEACE and LOVE, encompassing healing from immediate care to subsequent management. Short-term pharmacological treatment mainly consists of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and should only be initiated after the first 24–48 hours of an acute injury.
