For individuals who suffer from arthritis, aching muscles and joints, stiff neck, back pain, stress, tension or osteoporosis, effective pain management can be achieved through a number of therapeutic methods, including moist or dry heat therapy, cold (ice) therapy, orthopedic supports, massage, and electrical nerve and muscle stimulation. Home Health Medical offers a variety of affordable, easy-to-use products for acute and chronic pain management at home.
Moist heat therapy helps to relieve pain associated with arthritis, muscle pain, TMJ, rheumatic pain, inflammation of joints and more. Thermophore moist heat packs come with protective covers that retain skin-penetrating moisture to provide deep tissue therapy for pain relief. Arthritis pads provide fast-acting treatments that use intense moist heat (without adding water) to relieve pain and stiffness for hours. For the upper body, Therabead's reusable, microwavable neck wraps and Standard Moist Heat Packs include washable covers. Dry heat options for pain management include dry electric heating pads (or combination moist/dry heating pads).
Home Health Medical offers assorted pain relief options just for arthritis sufferers. In addition to heat and cold therapy for arthritis, specially-designed arthritis gloves can be worn day or night to help alleviate pain and stiffness in hands and fingers and other symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. A microwavable moist heat mitt can be worn on either hand for all-over pain relief. For a spa-like experience, try a professional paraffin bath to relieve stiffness in hands and joints and nourish skin. The Home Health Medical blog outlines more self-care tips for arthritis sufferers.
Cold therapy reduces swelling and relieves pain in minutes. Ice therapy works quickly to alleviate pain associated with sprains, strains, arthritis, tendonitis and more. Targeted cold therapy helps treat muscle, tendon and ligament injuries. Tru-Ice's reusable ice therapy provides the benefits of cold therapy without the mess. Cold packs come in one-time disposable and reusable gel packs. A cool gel pack neck support relieves pain from sports injuries, whiplash, headaches and more. Try a freezable therapy brace (also microwavable) for pain relief in elbows, ankles, wrists, knees, back and more.
Massage is a great way to provide targeted deep tissue relief for muscle pain. A rolling therapeutic foot massager offers heat or cold massage options to treat heel pain, sore feet, sports injuries, plantar fascitis and more. The heated massaging neck rest fits comfortably around the shoulders and neck and offers variable speed vibration for custom care.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices can be used for pain relief with a doctor's prescription. These therapeutic nerve stimulation units primarily are used to alleviate nerve pain caused by trauma or continual strain. A TENS unit sends pulses across the skin that help prevent pain signals from reaching the brain and encourage the body to create more endorphins. Home Health Medical carries assorted digital and non-digital TENS units and electrodes. Electrical muscle stimulators (EMS) send analog impulses to muscles to increase range of motion, reduce muscle atrophy and pain, rehab muscles, prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and improve blood circulation.
No matter where your body hurts, Home Health Medical can help alleviate pain with pain management products designed for targeted heat and cold therapy, arthritis relief, massage, orthopedic support, and more.
