Topical Back Medications
Topical analgesics is the scientific name for these medicinal products. Most people simply refer to them as “back pain medicines”. They are designed to work for
muscular back pain.
Most topical analgesics also work for
spinal arthritis
as well. These products will not usually provide much relief for
herniated disc
or
spinal stenosis
pain.
Topical Analgesic Recommendations
If you have back pain caused by a muscle injury or arthritis, these pain medications might offer you excellent temporary pain relief. If you have any other painful back condition, don’t waste your money…They will not help you. Tiger Balm Ultra is the best product I have ever used for local pain relief. It is great for muscular back pain as well as bruises. Highly Recommended…Now if I can only get Tiger Balm to send me some CA$H for that free commercial...
