Stiff neck
Research now tells us that our spa wraps are more effective than pain medication for stiff neck muscles ailment. A must for people on the go.
Sports medicine researchers at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) have concluded that heat wrap therapy is more effective for relieving muscle pain and sti neck than drugs such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
The results were published in Spine Magazine. In the six-month study involving 371 patients, participants were given the maximum recommended non-prescription dosages of ibuprofen and acetaminophen or heat wrap therapy for two days to treat acute lower back pain.
Muscle Pain
The results showed that the heat wrap therapy provided significantly more muscle pain relief beginning on the first day of treatment for a stiff neck than the oral pain relief medications, and that the effects lasted more than 48 hours after the treatment was completed.
Dr. Nadler states, "Confirming that this [heat therapy] treatment is effective is important to patients because it gives them a treatment option that does not have the potential risk to the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract than can accompany inappropriate analgesic (oral pain medication) usage." The heat wrap treatments for stiff neck also proved to be "better than oral analgesics because it goes beyond pain relief to provide muscle relaxation and increased flexibility."
