Essentially correct. Probably like any counter irritant, eg,
capsaicin, depletes presynaptic substance P.

Tiger Balm smells interesting and works but it merely blocks the pain
receptors, by overwhelming them as I understand. This has a relaxing
effect on tightness and spasm but it doesn't work like a true anti-
inflammatory like diclofenac. I use a slow release Naprosyn (Naproxen)
that helps with back and legs.
