3 Muscle, Joint and Knee Pain Relief Products & How to Use Them

Topical pain relief products can be helpful when addressing various types of pain—discomfort from arthritis, an athletic injury, or even a strained knee from physical work. These over-the-counter remedies are directly applied to the skin and are available in various forms, such as gels, creams, sprays, and patches.¹

Over-the-counter topical pain relievers often include ingredients like menthol and methyl salicylate. When applied to the skin, these ingredients create a soothing, cooling sensation.^1,3

Topical pain relievers are most effective for addressing acute musculoskeletal pain rather than chronic pain.¹ If you're dealing with a sore neck, sleeping in an awkward position, or a pulled muscle in your shoulder, applying a layer of topical pain reliever may offer pain relief.¹

These products can be used to treat¹:

• Pulled or sore muscles
• Strains and sprains
• Minor aches and pains
• Arthritis

Topical roll-on pain relief products are perfect for on-the-go usage. They are compact and offer a hands-free application, making them convenient for travel and daily use. With any roll-on pain relief product, read the instructions on the label and always use as directed.

The Biofreeze Pain Relief Roll-On lets you easily cover small and large areas of the body. It offers fast-acting menthol pain relief for sore muscles, backaches, joints, and even arthritis.²

Patches are highly effective when applied to flat surfaces, making them ideal for targeting pain in areas like back or neck pain¹. They are also available in various sizes to suit different needs.

Biofreeze Pain Relief Patches offer a mess-free application and contain a proven menthol-based cold therapy formula to help relieve sore muscles, backaches, and joint pain. These patches provide continuous relief for up to 8 hours, allowing you to manage pain effectively throughout the day.^3,4

Pain relief sprays can relieve pain in hard-to-reach areas like your ankle, the middle back, neck, or lower extremities.³

The Biofreeze Pain Relief Spray features 360-degree technology, allowing easy application at any angle and providing fast-acting, long-lasting relief.⁵

In addition to roll-ons, patches, and sprays, the Biofreeze range also includes topical pain relief products in other formats—like gels, creams, foams, and even a precision pen—so you can find the product perfectly suited to your needs.

Using a topical pain reliever like Biofreeze correctly is crucial. Here are some guidelines to follow:

• Carefully read the instructions on the label and only use the product as directed.
• Wash hands after use with cool water.
• Avoid contact with the eyes or on mucous membranes.
• Do not apply to wounds, damaged skin, irritated skin, or if excessive irritation develops.
• Do not bandage tightly or use a heating pad or device.
• Stop use and ask a doctor if you experience pain, swelling, or blistering of the skin, the condition worsens, or if symptoms persist for more than seven days or clear up and occur again within a few days, arthritic pain persists for more than ten days, or redness is present, or in conditions affecting children under 12 years of age.
• If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use.
