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.
Heat wraps (ThermaCare-type) show the best evidence — superior to standard hot packs for sustained benefit. Use for acute episodes, especially morning stiffness. Avoid on skin with impaired 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.
