Heated Pad - Back, Shoulder, Knee, Neck
Heat therapy has been used for centuries to treat aches, strains, sprains, and everyday pain from overuse of muscles and joints. As a non-pharmacological treatment approach, heat therapy applies low-level superficial heat to activate nerve endings (thermoreceptors); in turn, these thermoreceptors initiate signals to block pain signal (nociception) processing, producing an analgesic effect. Additionally, heat works by expanding the blood vessels a
Heat therapy has been used for centuries to treat aches, strains, sprains, and everyday pain from overuse of muscles and joints. As a non-pharmacological treatment approach, heat therapy applies low-level superficial heat to activate nerve endings (thermoreceptors); in turn, these thermoreceptors initiate signals to block pain signal (nociception) processing, producing an analgesic effect. Additionally, heat works by expanding the blood vessels around the muscles, joints, or affected area, allowing more blood to flow to the site, which aids in recovery.1 Heat therapy is often used in conjunction with cold therapy for maximum efficacy.
To make a heating pad easier to use, these devices come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and types, including one-time-use heating patches and reusable, plug-in electric heating pads. A calming heat pad provides heat through electricity, chemical reactions, or mechanically storing and radiating heat.
