Does HGH help with tendon repair/health? i had read something sabout baseball pitchers taking HGH after their surgeries to fix their tendons and was wondering if anyone had input. im going to a chiropractor on thursday to talk about it, hopefully i can get 'script

I don't care how big they are in Texas, a chiropractor can't prescribe drugs.

A baseball player who gets paid millions will have lots of money spent on any treatment that may help. The fact that they take HGH is not proof it helps much, if any. It just means it's one of many things done to help recover. He will also spend hours a day with ice on the tendon, ultasound treatment to stimulate the healing, and all kinds of things.

In the end, tissue repair is debateable. The real problem is it's a hard thing to study, since how do you line up identical tissue injuries to compare an HGH and control group results? General consensus is that it helps heal, but won't work miracles. So if you have an old tear with scar tissue, that scar tissue is going to stay and HGH won't help. A new tear may benefit from HGH, but it won't be a miracle cure. The benefit will be minimal.

There have been lots of people who have done HGH and stated that long, nagging problems like joints or muscle issues have benefited from HGH to some degree or other. But lots of people have also stated how their injuries never got better.

Maybe he means a osteopath? They basically do the same thing, manipulation but the osteopath can write scripts.

If you can get Pharm grade then go for it. Hgh will help with tendon repair...
