Short-Term Pain Reliever

Biofreeze is a natural, topical cold therapy analgesic that may provide temporary relief of minor pain.  This product contains menthol, which is described as a counterirritant. You know menthol from its distinctive minty smell, often found in cough drops.

As a topical medicine, it causes the skin to feel cool, then warms the affected area. The feelings on the skin provide instant relief from the pain.

The concept of this topical over-the-counter product is believed to work because of gate control theory. Anytime your body encounters discomfort, receptors communicate the feeling of pain via the spinal cord. The theory is that using cold sensation reverses pain signals in the nervous system by blocking nerve fibers carrying pain signals to the brain. With the signal blocked, you feel relief.

This product is available without a prescription and can be applied to the affected area no more than four times a day, as a temporary topical pain reliever.  There have been no long-term studies about its usage, so it must be used as described on the label. If pain persists after a week, the user is advised to consult a physician.

Cold therapy in general is often used as an anti-inflammatory. It’s believed that reducing swelling will reduce pain. It is non-systemic, non-narcotic, and contains no NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), salicylates or addictive substances.

Some people shouldn’t use this topical medication. Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should get a doctors’ approval before using. Label directions also warn children under 12 years old not to use without doctors’ permission.

Due to the menthol cooling of this product, you should not use Biofreeze if you have any cuts or bruises or skin conditions. It should also not be used with a heating pad. These conditions can counteract its effectiveness or cause further skin irritations.

It’s important to understand that Biofreeze isn’t a long-term pain solution. Its properties are designed for short-term usage for muscle or joint pain.

QC Kinetix Provides Long-Term Pain Relief

A better solution for chronic pain or injury of musculoskeletal pain is regenerative medicine, a natural solution using your body’s own healing properties to restore function of injured or damaged areas of the body.

At QC Kinetix, we use the latest in natural, regenerative therapies that have been proven to be effective for countless patients suffering from joint inflammation, chronic pain or a lack of mobility. Our regenerative therapies provide effective, non-surgical treatments of musculoskeletal conditions.

Unlike the short-term solution of a topical medication providing temporary relief, regenerative therapies are long term solutions to easing your pain.  Biologic substances, or those naturally produced by the body, are great at reducing inflammation and helping injured tissues to both heal and repair.

If you have chronic arthritis pain, or your doctor says the next step in reducing your knee pain is steroid injections, prescription pain medication or knee replacement surgery, come see us first. We provide a long-term solution to pain relief using your own body to heal itself in a safe and effective way.

Our treatment protocols involve joint pain or injuries from wear and tear in knees, shoulders, ankles, wrists, feet, hands, elbows, lower back, hips and sports injuries. We can also treat musculoskeletal pain caused by sciatica, plantar fasciitis, or tendonitis in adults aged 18 and over.

Our regenerative therapies are available for pain resulting from a wide range of conditions, allowing your body to heal and repair damaged tissue more quickly than traditional methods like pharmaceuticals or surgery.
