How Heat Therapy Can Alleviate Pain

As the winter chill begins to set in, so does the back pain. The cold tends to enhance pain which leads to muscle discomfort and reduced blood circulation. Here’s how heat therapy can help:

  • Muscle Relaxation: Heat helps to relax the muscles by decreasing muscle spasms and increasing flexibility.
  • Improved Blood Circulation: The application of heat promotes better blood flow which helps to reduce inflammation.
  • Pain Relief: By calming nerve endings and reducing the transmission of pain signals, heat therapy can provide instant relief.
