There are quite a few different creams and lotions you can put on to ease sore and aching muscles. In the Chiropractic world there seems to be an ongoing debate between China Gel and Biofreeze with most Chiros being on one side or the other! Obviously there are also over-the-counter options as well, but in my opinion, are not as effective/potent. I am a China Gel girl myself, that is all we use in our office and hand out/sell to patients. I prefer the lotion-like consistency, it is great for ultrasound and manual therapy, as opposed to the gel-like consistency of Biofreeze. I also find that the scent of China Gel fades a lot quicker...Biofreeze tends to linger around and can stain clothes, whereas China Gel will not stain.
If it is too hard for you to get to an office near you that sells either of those products, since unfortunately, they are not sold in stores, there are similar products sold OTC. However, as I mentioned previously, I do not think they are nearly as useful.
Salonpas, IcyHot, Tiger balm, etc. I would rather take a nice, not bath with Epsom salts to ease aching muscles!
