Occasional or chronic muscle or joint pain? Thermacare Heat Patches provide natural* and tailored relief to soothe them. Explanations.
Muscle and joint pain can be soothed naturally* thanks to thermotherapy, which consists in particular of bringing heat to painful areas. By using this technique, Thermacare heating patches relieve occasional or chronic joint and muscle pain: strain, aches, sprains, stiffness in the back or neck, osteoarthritis, etc. The increase in tissue temperature allows muscle relaxation, local vasodilation and therefore better oxygenation of the tissues as well as the elimination of toxins. In addition, heat has an analgesic effect: it acts directly on pain control mechanisms and thus “closes the door”(1) to the message of pain. This explains how thermotherapy helps relieve pain naturally* through heat.
A recognized and patented expertise in thermotherapy
Thermacare patches are self-heating as soon as they are opened and without medicinal active ingredients. They are composed of alveoli (patented technology) which contain thermoactive agents of natural origin (iron and charcoal) reacting in contact with air. Their patented permeable membrane allows a homogeneous diffusion of heat and acts deeply on the muscular tissues(2). These patches provide constant therapeutic heat at 40°C for eight hours, clinically proven(3). In addition, the heat is felt quickly, only thirty minutes after the patch has been applied. Their fine and odorless fabric ensures discretion under clothing. Be sure to refer to the instructions before use.
Thermacare heating patches: a solution for every pain!
Thermacare heating patches offer ergonomic formats to act on pain in a targeted manner. They make it possible to follow the shape of the body and even adapt to movements. The Adjustable Velcro Back Patch is designed to relieve lower back pain. It does not stick and largely encompasses the painful area thanks to its repositionable and comfortable belt. Neck patches, on the other hand, are suitable for reducing neck stiffness. They can also be used on the shoulders and wrists. Finally, the Multi-zone patches, in the shape of a compact cross, adapt to most movements to soothe muscle pain, particularly those in the middle of the back, calf and ankle. Enough to treat all ailments, and this, up to sixteen hours for Back and Neck/Shoulder/Wrist format patches!(3)
