What causes back pain?
Many people suffer with back pain that can make their day to day life difficult and uncomfortable. Back pain usually clears up over time, but can still leave you looking for effective relief as it heals. Some of the most common causes of back pain include:
- Sprains
- Strains
- Sports injuries
- Poor posture
- Lifting something awkwardly
- Stress
- Sciatica
- Slipped disc
How will heat therapy help to ease my back pain?
Thermacare Heat Wraps provide deep, heating relief to sore and painful muscles which can provide up to 8 hours of pain relief with each application. As the heat radiates through sore muscles, it helps them to relax and unlock, making movement easier and less painful. The heat also encourages blood flow to sore muscles, providing oxygen and nutrients that can accelerate the healing process.
