Topical Creams Can Relieve Your Pain

Topical pain relief is available in the form of creams, lotions, gels, and patches to provide localized pain relief to a desired body part. These forms of topical pain relief are often used by high school, college, and professional athletes, and they are also popular among individuals with arthritis and individuals who are not normally active that indulge in strenuous activities over the weekend to the point that their bodies feel significant soreness. Topical pain relief substances come in various forms:

1. creams that produce a sensation of cold and hot
2. creams made from Capsaicin
3. creams made with Salicylate referred to as topical analgesics
4. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gels
5. local anesthetic patches

What to look for:

If you need tempory relief from muscle pain, counter-irritant creams might give you relief. These substances normally have a strong odor which is derived from substances such as wintergreen or menthol. If you have significant pain in your joints, you might benefit from capsaicin type creams as they specifically work on depleting the neurological substance associated with pain. Capsaicin is one of the trade names for these chili pepper derived creams. For individuals that respond well to aspirin, topical analgesic creams reduce joint inflammation. However, individuals that have an allergy to aspirin or are taking other blood thinners such as Coumadin should check with their physician prior to use.
