The Cardinal Health 6" x 8-3/4" Insulated Instant Hot Pack promotes increased blood flow, which restores muscle flexibility and movement. The Instant Insulated Heat Pack (Cardinal Health 5530104) helps reduce pain from muscle spasms and joint stiffness. Because this pack is insulated, it retains up to 50% more heat than a non-insulated heat pack, allowing for longer-lasting therapy. Unlike instant cold packs, which slow blood flow and reduce inflammation, heat therapy promotes blood flow and soothes tight or tense muscles.
When Should You Use a Hot Pack?
For those experiencing joint or muscle stiffness, heat therapy can ease pain from acute or chronic injuries, such as arthritis, whiplash, muscle spasms, sprains, and strains. Heat packs are often used to soothe a sore back without the need for prescribed or over-the-counter painkillers. They are a convenient and effective way to manage pain.
How Long a Hot Pack Should be Used
Heat therapy should be used for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. For those who experience chronic pain from arthritis or painful muscle spasms, alternating between hot and cold therapy may help with the healing process. Always consult a doctor or physical therapist before using this type of therapy.
When Should You Not Use a Hot Pack?
Heat packs should NOT be used immediately after experiencing an injury. Cold therapy should be used before switching to heat to ensure that swelling is reduced and no additional damage occurs to the injured area.
