How it works
Increases local blood flow, reduces muscle spasm via reduced gamma-spindle activity, and raises the pain threshold in cervical sensory afferents.
Heat is more appropriate than cold for most neck pain, which is tension/muscle-driven rather than inflammatory. Avoid direct skin contact — use through a cloth. Do not apply over areas of reduced sensation.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
