The Unstoppable Legacy of Stopain®: A Trusted Name in Pain Relief for Over 30 Years

Today, the brand is experiencing a powerful resurgence, growing faster than ever and reaffirming its position as a market leader.

As Troy Healthcare, the manufacturer behind Stopain, continues to expand its reach, one thing remains unchanged—its commitment to delivering safe, effective, and affordable pain relief solutions that consumers can rely on.

A Legacy of Excellence in Topical Pain Relief

Stopain’s success is no accident. Since its inception, the brand has been built on the foundation of premium formulas, unwavering availability, and exceptional value—key factors that have earned the trust of millions. In 2024 alone, Stopain grew over three times faster than the pain relief category at the nation’s largest retailer, a testament to the product’s effectiveness and consumer loyalty.

There is no stopping Stopain. We attribute this success to a few core principles—American Made, Always in Stock, Amazing Value. Consumers know they can count on Stopain for a premium formula at an affordable price, and that trust is fueling our momentum.

At the heart of Stopain’s powerful relief is its 8% menthol formula, enhanced with MSM and glucosamine, delivering maximum performance pain relief for people struggling with arthritis, muscle aches, and joint pain. But beyond its formula, Stopain’s commitment to innovation and accessibility is what truly sets it apart.

Investing in Growth: 10 Million Samples Distributed Nationwide

Stopain is not just growing in sales—it’s making a major investment in consumer awareness. Through a groundbreaking initiative, the brand has partnered with national workplace first aid companies to distribute over 10 million sample packets of Stopain gel to workers and individuals in need of fast relief.

“Safe and effective, non-addictive pain relief is our passion,” says Paul Timko, Vice President of Marketing.

“By partnering with key industrial first aid companies, we’re making sure Stopain is available when and where people need it most.”

This initiative ensures that millions of people—whether on the job or at home—get the chance to experience Stopain’s fast-acting relief firsthand, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to helping people live active, pain-free lives.

A Digital Revolution: Bringing Stopain to More Consumers

In addition to its rapid retail growth and consumer sampling efforts, Stopain has also undergone a major digital transformation to connect more people with its trusted pain relief solutions.

The brand’s newly launched, consumer-friendly website is designed to be a go-to resource for pain sufferers, providing valuable insights into pain management and ensuring those searching for arthritis relief, back pain relief, and joint pain solutions can easily find Stopain.

But Stopain’s commitment to holistic pain relief goes beyond just product education. The website also features a direct connection to the Stopain Clinical Network, helping consumers find chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists in their communities to address the underlying causes of pain.

“Even though the brand has been around for three decades, we truly are just getting started,” adds Timko.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Stopain

As Stopain Extra Strength continues its unstoppable momentum, the future looks brighter than ever. With:

  • A proven and trusted formula
  • Expanding retail success
  • Massive consumer awareness investments
  • Strategic partnerships

…the brand is poised for exponential growth. As more people discover the relief Stopain provides, it’s clear that the best years are still ahead.
