Heat Therapy

for Stomach Ache

Continuous low-level heat wraps and hot packs provide immediate and short-term relief for acute low back pain — evidence supports heat as superior to paracetamol for acute LBP.

How it works

Increases local blood flow, reduces muscle spasm, and raises the pain threshold in sensory nerve endings. Continuous low-level heat (below 44°C) can be maintained for hours without burns.

What to watch for

Do not apply directly to skin - use a cloth barrier. Not for pain from appendicitis or inflammation.
