    AbstractInjection therapy has played an integral role in the rehabilitation of sports injuries for many years. The athlete's primary goal is a rapid return to sporting activity. This may be achieved by a combination of either a temporary or permanent reduction in pain, and by a pharmacological or physiological effect that promotes or accelerates a healing response. A wide variety of pharmacological agents are used. However, there is often a lack of good evidence that quantifiable effects can be achieved. There are restrictions on the use of some pharmaceutical agents. This article reviews the various pharmacological agents and bioactive substrates that are available, and discusses the current evidence base of their use in common sports injuries.
