About this item

• MEDICAL GRADE ELECTRIC HEATING PAD: Get the best possible at-homecare and relief for your chronic pain, injury, or conditions that are available with this medical-grade device. Patient-friendly, the moist heat you’ll get from this heat pad is the most commonly prescribed form of treatment by physical therapists, chiropractors, and doctors. You can now have that care in the convenience of your own home.
• NO WATER OR SOAKING NECESSARY: Well you might wonder then, “How does a moist heating pad work without adding any moisture?” When heated, the soft flannel covering of this hot pad draws in moisture and humidity from the air and retains it, then transfers it to your skin through a process called fomentation. This way, your clothes and skin don’t become saturated from too much water being held against them.
• CONTROL IS IN YOUR HANDS: Using this heating pad is literally as easy as the push of a button. When you hold the analog pressure switch, the unit heats up and stays warm for as long as you hold the button. You may find the heat so relaxing that you fall asleep, but you don’t have to worry about overheating your skin—as soon as the button is released the device turns off and starts to cool down.
• WHY MOIST HEAT IS SUPERIOR: You might have heard that dry heat is fine for loosening muscles and easing pain. Though it does have some benefits, studies have shown that moist heat has greater benefits than dry heat. The heat from Thermotech’s moist heating pad helps moisture get through the skin barrier and deeper into the tissue beneath. This helps to increase circulation to problem areas, bringing in new blood cells while taking away wastes to speed up recovery.
• FAST RELIEF FOR BACK PAIN AVAILABLE: Don't let pain and injuries hinder your productivity in your busy daily routine. These hot pads come in different sizes and can assist in relaxing muscle spasms to provide relief and increase flexibility in tight muscles. They are beneficial for chronic low back pain, arthritis, rheumatic conditions, TMJ, shoulder injuries, menstrual cramps, pain from back or disc injuries, and other conditions.
