Superficial heat therapy
Hot packs, warm moist towels, heating pads are often used to help raise the temperature of soft tissues directly below the surface of the skin. Heat applied to the surface of the skin enlarges blood vessels below the surface; relaxing tissues and can temporarily relieve painful symptoms. It is helpful before or after chiropractic adjustments, exercises and other treatment. Using heat to calm tissues suffering from long term spasm or irritation is an easy way to increase flexibility, range of motion, promote increased circulation to speed the healing process, relax muscle tension, reduces joint stiffness and prepares tissues for rehabilitation.
