Electric Heating Pads: Do You Know What’s Available?
This website shows you what’s available in electric heating pads
An electric heating pad is a device that is used to warm up parts of the body to help manage and reduce pain. Therapeutic heating pads bring comforting relief to sore/aching joints and muscles, and are excellent for sports-related injuries or strains resulting from over exertion. The application of an electric heating pad dilates the blood vessels and increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, stimulates pain receptors in order to reduce pain signals sent to the brain and helps stretch soft tissue, all of which serve to heal the sore area. In the past “hot water bottles” were used for this purpose. Now most heating pads are usually electrical or use chemicals or organic ingredients to provide heat.
Electric heating pads come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors, and are made by a number of different manufacturers.
