Foot pain from injury, surgery, arthritis, and similar disorders often responds well to heat therapy. By increasing the temperature in the foot area, heat therapy enhances blood circulation and helps to relax sore muscles, reducing stiffness and increasing mobility.
Warm moist heat increases circulation to the affected area. Blood carries needed nutrients to the area and flushes away toxins.
The Foot Shop offers a wide selection of heat therapy products from heat wraps, to paraffin wax therapy which maintains a constant hot temperature to the involved extremity.
The type of heat therapy required for your type of foot condition should be discussed with your health care provider.
Heat dilates blood vessels and the muscles surrounding the knee joint. This process increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the joints, helping to heal the damaged tissue.
Heat Therapy has been used for centuries to help improve circulation and speed the healing of injured tissue. Heat application to an injured area increases circulation by dilating surrounding blood vessels bringing oxygen and nutrients to an injured area. Heat also facilitates stretching of muscles, ligaments and tendons, resulting in a decrease of spasms and contractures. Heat has been proven to dramatically reduce the dependency on oral pain medications during the rehabilitation process.
Thermal products are designed to provide safe and effective treatment for injuries with maximum comfort and convenience.
