Heating Pad
ALSU heating pad is a pad used for warming of parts of the body in order to manage pain. Localized application of heat causes the blood vessels in that area to dilate, to improve to the target tissue.
ALSU heating pads operate from 220V household current and have protection against overheating. Due to its handy dial temperature is easily adjusted.
Function
Many episode of pain come from muscle exertion or strain, which creates tension in the muscles and soft tissues. This tension can constrict circulation, sending pain signal to the brain. Heat application eases pain by:
*stimulating sensation in the skin and therefore decreasing the pain signals being transmitted to the brain
*increasing the flexibility (and decrasing painful stiffness) of soft tissues surrounding the ınjured area, including muscles and connective tissue.
ALSU heating pads are portable, heat may be applied as needed at home, at work or while traveling.
As with any pain treatment, a physician should be consulted prior to beginning reatment. |
