Capsaicin for Back Pain
Capsaicin is the active ingredient in hot peppers. It the chemical that creates the sensation of heat in these food items. However, this feeling of heat is merely an illusion. Capsaicin does not produce any actual warmth, nor does it cause any damage or injury, no matter how painfully spicy it may seem.
Substance P is a chemical that is released by the body when it feels pain. Capsaicin stimulates the release of substance P, even though there is no actual burn or injury. When there is a large release of substance P in an area, the body’s supply becomes depleted in that region. This is why acute pain typically fades after a short time. Repeated application of capsaicin will harmlessly deplete the supply of substance P in the area, leading to reduced pain transmission.
In essence, by utilizing capsaicin topical cream to use up all the substance P in the symptomatic area, the natural pain-inducing mechanism will not cause symptoms, or will only cause mild symptoms, until the body can replenish the supply of the pain transmitting chemical.
