Thermacare back wraps S-XL for pain relief, 2 pcs

ThermaCare for lower back and hip pain

The ThermaCare heat compresses are specifically designed to treat tension and pain in the lower back area.These skin-friendly envelopes have 16 patented heat cells and are infinitely adjustable in size thanks to their elastic material and Velcro fastener.

The heat compresses provide effective and targeted relief from muscle and/or joint pain caused by overexertion, strains and sprains, osteoarthritis or muscle tension.They are suitable for acute, chronic and occasional pain.This product is intended for patients aged 12 and over who can use the product independently.No prescription is required for this product.

Mode of action

The ThermaCare heat packs contain small heat cells filled with iron powder, activated carbon, salt and water.In conjunction with atmospheric oxygen, a pleasant heat is produced in these cells.This heat prevents pain stimuli from being transmitted to the brain and promotes blood circulation, which accelerates the flushing out of inflammatory substances.
