Chiropractors aim to relieve pain and improve mobility through hands-on spinal manipulation and alignment. But for optimal outcomes, effective at-home pain relief options are also needed between office visits. This is where having customized topical pain relief creams can benefit chiropractic patients. Read on to learn how private label analgesic creams support chiropractic care by targeting patient pain points.
- The Need for Effective Pain Relief in Chiropractic Care
While chiropractic adjustments provide relief by realigning the musculoskeletal system, residual aches commonly persist. Patients need accessible at-home pain relief options between appointments. But general over-the-counter oral pain medications have drawbacks:
Inconsistent relief resulting in pain flares
Side effects like gastrointestinal issues
Slow onset of 30-60 minutes
This makes oral pain meds suboptimal for chiropractic patients seeking rapid relief for strains and sprains. Private label topical creams offer an improved solution. - Benefits of Custom Pain Relief Creams
Private labeling allows chiropractors to order customized analgesic creams tailored to meet their patients’ needs:
Targeted relief delivered right to the pain source
Faster absorbing for quicker onset of action
Avoid side effects of oral pain medications
Option for customized ingredients to address pain symptoms
Branded with clinic name to reinforce connection
Revenue opportunity from selling creams to patients
By providing patients with specialized relief creams, chiropractors give them an effective pain management tool between visits.
- Creating Effective Pain Relief Cream Formulas
When private labeling creams, chiropractors should choose ingredients that target their patients’ pain patterns: - Back and Neck Pain
Menthol – Provides cooling and numbing sensation
Camphor – Stimulates receptors to relieve muscle aches
Peppermint Oil – Cools irritated tissues
Arnica – Reduces muscle spasms and stiffness - Joint Pain
Capsaicin – Disrupts transmission of pain signals
Glucosamine – Restores cartilage to improve mobility
Chondroitin – Reduces joint inflammation
Turmeric – Contains anti-inflammatory curcumin - Neuropathy
Menthol – Creates soothing chilling sensation
Aloe Vera – Calms nerve inflammation and pain
This strategic formulation provides customized relief for chiropractic patients’ needs. - Tips for Offering Private Label Creams
Here are tips for chiropractors looking to offer branded pain relief creams:
Order samples to test product quality and patient response
Have patients trial creams and provide feedback for improvements
Stock an array of options to suit different pain symptoms
Have creams ready to sell upfront after appointments
Display creams by reception and checkout to spur purchases
Offer monthly subscriptions for continued use between visits
By making private label creams readily available and easy to purchase, chiropractors can better equip patients to manage pain on their own. - Educating Patients on Proper Use
For optimal results, chiropractors should guide patients on properly using relief creams:
Massage a small amount gently into affected areas until absorbed
Use up to 4 times daily as needed, especially after adjustments
Apply light pressure when massaging over recent chiropractic adjustments
Avoid excessive rubbing over irritated areas
Prevent contact with eyes, nose and mouth
Stay hydrated to aid absorption through the skin
Report any irritation or lack of improvement after 1 week of use
Providing instruction ensures patients use the creams effectively as part of chiropractic care.
For chiropractic patients dealing with ongoing strains, sprains, and neuropathy, having targeted relief between spinal adjustments is key. Private labeled analgesic creams allow chiropractors to offer patients customized solutions to meet their specific pain patterns. By making these branded creams readily available and guiding proper use, chiropractors give patients effective tools for at-home pain management.
