How to choose a shoulder pain patch
Shoulder pain patches differ in how they relieve pain and how long they last. When choosing the best shoulder pain relief patch, weigh:
- Natural vs medicated - herbal patches are drug-free; medicated ones use lidocaine or menthol
- Shape - a contoured patch follows the curve of the shoulder and stays put
- Wear time - 8-12 hours covers a work day or a night's sleep
- Night comfort - shoulder pain is often worst at night, so all-day wear helps
Frequently asked questions
Do shoulder pain patches work?
Shoulder pain patches can ease stiffness, strain and everyday shoulder ache by delivering relieving ingredients through the skin over the joint. Natural patches like mLab's FlexiShoulder use herbal extracts for drug-free relief lasting 8-12 hours. They work best for muscle and rotator cuff discomfort and alongside gentle movement, rather than as a cure for a shoulder injury.
What is the best shoulder pain relief patch?
The best shoulder pain relief patch depends on whether you want medication. Herbal patches such as mLab's give drug-free relief you can wear all day and night, while medicated patches use lidocaine or menthol for a stronger, shorter effect. For everyday rotator cuff and muscle pain, a natural shoulder pain patch worn 8-12 hours is a gentle, wearable option.
Where do you put a shoulder pain patch?
Place a shoulder pain patch directly over the sore area, on clean, dry, unbroken skin, and smooth down the edges so it follows the curve of the shoulder. For rotator cuff pain that is usually over the outer or top shoulder. Avoid cuts, rashes and irritated skin, and never place a patch where it stings.
A quick, honest note. mLab shoulder patches ease everyday discomfort but do not treat or cure a shoulder condition. Use on unbroken skin, patch-test first, and see a doctor if you cannot lift your arm, have marked weakness, or pain does not settle.
