Dr. Reuben Chen, MD, board-certified sports medicine physician, pain management specialist, and Chief Medical Officer at Sunrider® International, was recently featured in Everyday Health, a trusted digital health and wellness publication offering expert-reviewed content and practical guidance to help readers make informed health decisions.

The article, “Sore and Stiff? These Expert-Reviewed Medicines for Body Aches Can Help You Find Relief,” highlights expert-reviewed ways to ease common body aches, from topical and over-the-counter options to supportive self-care strategies tailored to the source of discomfort.

Dr. Chen discussed inflammation-related aches, explaining that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help relieve pain and reduce swelling, while noting they should be used carefully and taken with food to minimize digestive discomfort.

He also highlighted the role of topical and non-drug approaches for targeted comfort. Discussing cooling therapies, he noted that ice and similar applications “offer cooling relief and help reduce inflammation and numb the area effectively,” particularly when used for short periods.
