What causes neck and shoulder pain?
Neck and shoulder pain are common ailments that usually clear up by themselves within a few weeks. You may choose to use painkillers or heat packs to help to ease neck and shoulder pain as it heals, helping you to manage the discomfort until it’s gone. Some of the most common causes of neck and shoulder pain include:
- Arthritis
- Sleeping in an awkward position
- Poor posture
- Frozen shoulder
- Pinched nerve
- Sprains
- Strains
- Sports injuries
- Injuries from a fall or traffic accident
How will heat therapy help to ease my neck and shoulder 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.
