HeatWraps - Lower Back & Hip Description from Thermacare
Of all the heat patches for back pain out there, only ThermaCare Back Pain Therapy HeatWraps are clinically proven for pain relief, and increase blood flow to help accelerate healing. They're portable and deliver 8 hours of continuous, real therapeutic heat and keep relieving pain for an additional 8 hours after you take them off. Ordinary heat patches for back pain merely create an artificial sensation of heat.
In fact, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends real heat as a first defense against lower back pain. A review of studies found that applying therapeutic heated back wraps could provide significant relief for those with acute lower back pain. Available in two sizes, these single-use heating wraps for back are designed to provide pain relief at home or on the go.
