“One thing I’ve seen is that the United States is much more reliant on taking pills for pain than the rest of the world, where topical analgesics, physical therapy, and other approaches are more widely used,” says Dr. Bob Arnot, who over the course of his career as a physician, Chief Medical Correspondent, and War Correspondent, has been exposed to a wide variety of pain management drugs and approaches.  “The reliance on pills, many of which come with side effects that can be severe when used in greater quantities than labeled or for longer than labeled has led me to conclude for muscle, back and joint pains it’s best to start with Topicals First.”

“As a physician, I recommend topicals first and I have shared some great options to safely and effectively relieve your pain,” says Dr. Bob Arnot.
