How to Apply Arctic Blast for Knee, Shoulder & Back Pain
When I first got my bottle of Arctic Blast, I wasn’t sure if I was using it right. I had pain in my knee, shoulder, and lower back—and I wanted to get the most out of every drop. The truth is, how you apply it matters, especially if you want fast, targeted relief that lasts.
After months of using it daily and reading tips from other users, I figured out exactly how to use it effectively—without waste or mess. If you’re wondering how to use Arctic Blast for the most common pain areas, here’s what’s worked best for me.

How to Apply Arctic Blast for Knee Pain
My knees used to ache every time I went up stairs, knelt down, or stood too long. Here’s how I apply Arctic Blast to get relief that lasts:
- Step 1: Start with clean, dry skin.
- Step 2: Tilt the bottle and squeeze a few drops directly around the kneecap and the back of the knee.
- Step 3: Gently massage the drops in using circular motions, especially around the joint line and any swollen areas.
- Step 4: Let it absorb for 1–2 minutes before putting on pants or kneeling.
I apply it in the morning and again before bed. On flare-up days, I reapply mid-afternoon too.

How to Apply Arctic Blast for Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be tricky. It often hides deep in the rotator cuff or upper traps, and if you’re not applying the drops to the right spots, the relief doesn’t last. Here’s what helped me:
- Step 1: Roll your shoulders a bit to feel where the pain is most concentrated.
- Step 2: Apply a few drops directly to the front, side, and back of the shoulder.
- Step 3: Use your fingers to gently rub the drops over the joint and into the neck area if tension extends upward.
- Step 4: Don’t forget the rear deltoid—that’s often the sneaky source of hidden pain.
I apply Arctic Blast before workouts and again afterward to reduce post-exercise soreness.
How to Apply Arctic Blast for Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is what led me to Arctic Blast in the first place—and this is the area I use it on most consistently.
- Step 1: Clean the lower back area and stand or lie down.
- Step 2: Apply drops along both sides of the spine, especially around the lumbar region and just above the tailbone.
- Step 3: Use the palm of your hand to spread the liquid evenly. Don’t forget to go slightly up toward the mid-back and down toward the hips.
- Step 4: Wait a minute for it to dry—then feel the cooling relief begin.
If you sit at a desk all day, I recommend keeping a bottle nearby. Just a midday application keeps me going without stiffness or tightness.

Tips for Best Results
Here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way that make a huge difference:
- Use it consistently — 2–3 times a day is ideal for chronic pain
- Don’t overapply — a few drops go a long way
- Massage it in gently — you don’t need to rub hard for it to work
- Let it absorb fully before covering the area with clothes
- Pair it with movement — apply before stretching, walking, or yoga for better results
Why This Application Method Works
Arctic Blast isn’t like regular creams. Thanks to DMSO, it actually pulls the active ingredients deep into the tissue. That means surface application is enough, as long as you apply to the right areas and give it a moment to work its magic.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been wondering how to use Arctic Blast for joint or muscle pain, I hope this guide helps. The key is using it intentionally, with attention to the areas where tension hides. For me, the difference has been huge—less stiffness, better sleep, and a whole lot more movement in my day.

How I Use Arctic Blast Before and After Workouts
One thing I noticed? When I apply Arctic Blast before a workout, I don’t get as stiff or sore afterward. For my knees and lower back, this has been a game changer. I also apply it post-workout to cool down inflammation and keep my joints mobile.

For Knee Pain, Don’t Forget the Back of the Leg
Most people apply Arctic Blast only on the front of the knee—but I learned it helps to go behind the knee and down the calf. That’s where tight tendons and nerves often cause radiating pain. I apply in a horseshoe shape around the joint for full coverage.
Shoulder Tension Starts in the Neck
If you’re using Arctic Blast for shoulder pain, don’t skip the base of your neck and the traps. That whole muscle chain is connected, and tightness there can make your shoulders feel worse. A few drops on the upper spine area goes a long way.
Layer Arctic Blast With Heat or Cold
Yes, Arctic Blast already gives you that cooling sensation—but if I’m in serious pain, I’ll apply the drops and then use a heating pad or cold pack on top. It helps the ingredients go even deeper and gives my body extra help processing the inflammation.
For Lower Back Pain, Apply Just Above the Hips
Back pain isn’t always centered. Sometimes I feel it near my sacroiliac joints or the outer hips, so I apply Arctic Blast along the top of my waistband and even into the glutes. That area carries a lot of tension most people ignore.
Applying at Bedtime = Better Sleep
One of the best times to use Arctic Blast? Right before bed. If I skip this step, I toss and turn from stiffness. A few drops on my lower back or knees gives me deep, uninterrupted rest. It also helps my body heal naturally overnight.

Don’t Rub Too Hard
The drops work best when you gently spread them in. No need to dig into the muscle. In fact, over-rubbing can irritate the skin or cause more tension. A light massage with your fingers or palm is all it takes.
It’s Great After Long Periods of Sitting
If I’ve been in the car or working at my desk for hours, my lower back screams. I now keep a bottle in my work bag and use it during breaks. It keeps my spine aligned, hips loose, and me feeling productive instead of stiff.
Combine With Gentle Movement
After applying Arctic Blast, I like to do a few light stretches or walk around for a few minutes. This helps circulate blood and activate muscles so the formula penetrates better and works faster. Sitting still after applying isn’t always best.
It Absorbs Faster Than Creams or Gels
Unlike thick ointments that sit on the surface, Arctic Blast soaks in within 30–60 seconds. That means no waiting around half-naked in your room or worrying about stains on your clothes. It’s mess-free and travel-friendly.
Travel Tip: Use Before Flights or Long Drives
Before road trips or flights, I apply Arctic Blast to my lower back and shoulders. It helps me avoid cramps and stiffness during travel—and I arrive feeling way better. You can even reapply discreetly in the airport bathroom.

Final Tip: Keep It Where You’ll Use It
The more consistent you are, the better it works. I keep bottles of Arctic Blast in my nightstand, work desk, gym bag, and car console. That way, I never forget to apply when pain hits—and I always stay one step ahead of flare-ups.
