At Blooms the Chemist, we offer a range of topical pain relief products designed to provide targeted relief for various types of discomfort. Our selection includes well-known brands such as Athelite, Voltaren and Deep Heat, available in various forms like gels, creams, sprays, patches, and heat packs. These products are formulated to be applied directly to the skin, potentially offering localised relief for muscle aches, joint pain, and other types of discomfort.
What is topical pain relief?
Topical pain relief refers to products that are applied externally to the skin, which aim to alleviate discomfort in specific areas of the body. These may include anti-inflammatory & heat rubs, gels, creams, patches, and sprays that contain active ingredients designed to penetrate the skin and potentially provide localised relief. Unlike oral medications, topical pain relief products are applied directly to the affected area, which may help target the source of discomfort more precisely.
How do topical pain relief products work?
Topical pain relief products work in various ways, depending on their active ingredients and formulation. Some may contain ingredients that create a warming or cooling sensation on the skin, which may help to soothe sore muscles or joints. Others may include ingredients that are absorbed through the skin and may interact with pain receptors in the affected area. It's important to note that the effectiveness of these products can vary from person to person, and they may not be suitable for all types of pain or conditions.
What types of topical pain relief products are available?
There are several types of topical pain relief products available at Blooms the Chemist:
- Gels and creams: Brands like Deep Heat offer products that can be massaged into the skin.
- Patches: These adhesive patches can be applied directly to the affected area.
- Sprays: Quick and easy to apply, sprays can be convenient for hard-to-reach areas.
- Heat packs: These can provide warmth to soothe sore muscles and joints.
- TENS therapy devices: These use electrical stimulation to potentially alleviate pain.
When should I consider using topical pain relief?
Topical pain relief products may be useful for managing localised discomfort such as muscle aches after exercise, stiff or sore joints, mild back pain, sprains, or minor sports injuries. They can also be considered for easing everyday strains like neck or shoulder tension. If pain is ongoing, severe, or linked to an underlying health condition, it’s best to seek advice from a healthcare professional, as topical products may not be suitable in every situation. Always read the product label and follow the instructions carefully before use.
