Penetrating
Moist
Heating Pad (King, Medium, and Mini)
The
Thermotech heat pads are very similar to the popular
"Thermophore", only more affordable. No water
is needed. The Thermotech Hot Pack produces moist heat
automatically by drawing moisture from humidity in the
air and retaining it in the hot pack's outer flannel
cover. Because it delivers very intense moist heat,
the Thermotech is more effective than other electric
heating pads on the market. Moist heat increases circulation
and speeds recovery by bringing in fresh blood cells
and taking away wastes which hinder healing. This is
known as electric fomentation therapy. The application
of moist heat (fomentation) is commonly prescribe by
physical therapists chiropractors and doctors. The Thermophore
Hot Pack is the method that is most often recommend.
A hand held momentary switch, controlled by the user,
turns the hot pack on and off, and allows the user to
maintain the highest temperature possible. The momentary
switch must be held "on" to allow the unit
to heat, released while cooling to normal body temperature.
This treatment can be so relaxing; often the user may
fall asleep. When the pressure switch is released, the
unit immediately shuts off. A One Year Full Warranty
is provided.
Using Tens & Moist Heat To
Relieve Pain
TENS
+ Moist Heat = Less Pain
TENS works by sending an electrical current into tense
muscle areas, causing the muscles to contract and relax.
TENS is often used instead of medication to reduce pain.
It is especially effective for treating low back and
neck pain. Like many modalities, however, the relief
is only temporary.
Moist
Heat is an excellent supplement to TENS treatments.
It relaxes tense muscles and eases stiff joints. It
improves circulation, brings fresh blood to the affected
area and takes away waste. In short, heat provides pain
relief and speeds healing. Still, like with TENS, the
relief is temporary.
TENS + Moist
Heat can add hours of pain relief to your day.
Use moist heat before getting up in the morning to relieve
stiffness in the neck or low back. Then use TENS to
help you throughout the day. And, at the end of the
day, use moist heat to help you relax and rest.
About Moist
Heat
For centuries, people have known that heat can relieve
pain. We soak in hot tubs or apply electric heating
pads because we know instinctively that heat will help
us feel better.
What exactly
does heat do?
• Heat improves circulation
• Heat improves cell function (metabolism)
• Heat decreases stiffness in tendons and ligaments
• Heat relaxes the muscles and decreases muscle
spasm
• Heat lessens pain
Medical professionals explain that heat causes dilation
of the blood vessels in the area being treated. This
increase in blood flow brings fresh blood to the area
and takes waste away from it. The result is that heat
eases pain and speeds healing.
Automatic Moist Heat Pad (advanced)
Provides moist heat treatments by a process of fomentation without adding water for the relief of all types of pain conditions. During the healing process, moist heat therapy has proven most effective to ease pain, reduce stiffness and increase circulation. Includes flannel cover and three year warranty.
