Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a stronger alternative to Biofreeze?

MEDISTIK is formulated with 46% total active ingredients — the maximum amount allowed in a topical pain reliever without a prescription. Biofreeze contains 4-10%. That difference is why MEDISTIK is built for stubborn, chronic and post-injury pain rather than light, temporary relief.

How do the active ingredients in MEDISTIK and Biofreeze compare?

MEDISTIK combines Methyl Salicylate (30%), an anti-inflammatory, with Menthol (15%) and Eucalyptus Oil (1%). Biofreeze relies on Menthol at 4-10%. MEDISTIK therefore delivers both the cooling sensation and a long-term anti-inflammatory action.

Does MEDISTIK just mask pain, or does it treat it?

Menthol-only products work through vasodilation, counter-irritation and the Pain Gate Theory — they change how pain is perceived. MEDISTIK does that too, and adds an anti-inflammatory that acts on the source of the pain. That dual mechanism is what separates treating pain from masking it.

Is MEDISTIK cheaper than Biofreeze?

Gram for gram, MEDISTIK offers more active ingredients for a lower price than Biofreeze. Effective pain relief shouldn't be a strain on anyone's wallet, especially seniors and those unable to work due to injuries.

What people say

Customer reviews

★★★★★

I use this product to manage my own body pain, as a massage therapist, and I recommend it to my clients particularly the ones with arthritis.

CHRISTINE, RMT
★★★★★

I don't know what I would do without Medistik, and I've used just about everything out there! I hardly even need to take pain medication anymore.

Seanne O.
★★★★★

I trust MEDISTIK to provide my patients with fast acting pain relief. No other over-the-counter analgesics I’ve used compare.

Dr. Nick Kousouris B PHE, DC
★★★★★

My chiropractor recommended this product to me, and I'm so glad he did! I have osteoarthritis, and I find the Medistik works wonders.
