Health is wealth
Hot packs for pain
February 20th 2010 14:58
Moist heat can be used to help relax tight muscles and temporarily relieve pain. It can also help decrease joint stiffness so it is easier for you to exercise and carry out daily activities. To use heat therapeutically, select the correct size pad for the area you want to soothe. While using a hot pack, rest in a comfortable and relaxed position. Place the hot pack directly on the body area you wish to treat and make sure the hot pack is in close to the body. Continue the treatment for 15-30 minutes. You can sit comfortably in a chair, put the hot pack on the area you want to soothe, and lean back and relax. You can also go to bed at night with a hot pack. The hot pack is good for both an injury and chronic pain. For centuries, it has been known that heat can relieve pain.
