It is a common practice especially among many endurance athletes to take Ibuprofen before, during, and after events to help stave off soreness and pain. This is a very risky practice and can cause very serious damage to the body. There are many ways to help your body make it through pain events including Acupuncture, Active Release Techniques, Chiropractic, and Yoga. Using any of these methods regularly during training and after events can greatly reduce the wear and tear on your body in a far healthier manner.
Remember, pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. Covering up pain can lead you to cause more damage. Pain killers are a short-term 'band-aid' to help you while you address the real issue. In most cases pain killers are NOT acceptable for long term therapy.
