TOPICAL PAIN RELIEVERS

There are many topical pain relieving creams on the market today.  At some point in are lives, we will all  experience some type of pain in our feet, legs or joints.  The pain can be from mild to severe.  If you have the occasional mild discomfort, or pain in the muscles or joints, a topical pain relieving cream can be beneficial.

This is good, also, for people who are a little reluctant to pop pain pills.  These topical products are meant to be a temporary solution, and only for the mild aches and pains that we all have, from time to time.

Topical pain relievers come as gels, creams, lotions or patches.  They are to be applied directly over the area of discomfort. These preparations are not intended to take the place of prescribed medication, should you need that for more severe pain conditions.

As a topical pain reliever goes, I really like a product called “Orthogel”.  It comes in either a roll on or gel.  It does provide deep skin penetration to help sooth and ease away soreness.  It provides long lasting results.  It is also non-greasy and has no lingering odor.  Orthogel is a favorite of my patients, which is why I give it my “Dr. Paula seal of approval”!

I will often recommend this product to my patients for heel pain, arthritis pain, muscle aches and tendonitis.

In my opinion, it is superior to other similar topical products on the market.  

If this one doesn’t provide adequate pain relief, than there are many others to choose from.  Perhaps a prescription strength product may be for you.  Or, a combination of treatments may be required. Of course, if the pain persists, or gets worse, then definitely have a proper evaluation by a physician.
