Heat therapy for a stiff neck.
Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillows.
A stiff neck is usually caused by muscle strain either from exercise or the result of a hectic lifestyle. Trying to cradle a phone in between the ear and shoulder without using your hands is a common modern-day culprit. A sudden turn of the head or sleeping with too many pillows can also be the cause.
For centuries, people have known that heat can relieve pain. We soak in hot baths because we know instinctively that heat will help us feel better.
More often than not, the problem corrects itself within 24 to 48 hours.
Paracetamol or Ibuprofen can help relieve pain and so can some tender warming therapy with a Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillow.
Heat therapy can be great for a stiff neck, helping to improve circulation and cell function, decrease stiffness in tendons and ligaments, relax the muscles, decrease muscle spasms and help to lessen pain.
Heat therapy causes dilation of the blood vessels in the area being treated. This increase in blood flow brings fresh blood to the area and takes waste away from it. The result is that heat eases pain and speeds healing.
For best results, warm the Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillow to a comfortable temperature for around three minutes in a microwave and place the warmed pillow directly on the skin wrapped around the neck area you wish to treat and leave for around 15-30 minutes.
Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillows mould beautifully to the contours of the shoulder and neck. The cherrystones retain heat and release it gradually to give long lasting and penetrating heat directly to the area of discomfort.
