| Best Heat Pads for Back PainThursday, 18 October 2018 Heat pads are becoming an increasingly popular way to tackle back pain. Heat therapy isn't new and has been used successfully across the world for centuries, with different people developing different methods to tackle pain using heat. It works by dilating the blood vessels in the muscles in the back which helps to increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area and encourage damaged tissue to heal.
Heat pads are generally small, sometimes portable and more often than not discreet, meaning that they fit into 21st century life easily by allowing users to tackle pain at work, at home or while travelling.
