Q: Does a Thermotex™ infrared heating pad cure arthritis? A: No. A cure for arthritis has not yet been found. However, the pain and stiffness caused by this disease can be relieved with proper use of the Thermotex™ infrared heating pad. Some folks can even resume their normal daily activities. Q:Can you be more specific on how the Thermotex™ infrared heating pad relieves pain? A: The infrared energy that emanates from the Thermotex™ heating pad penetrates the skin and muscles all the way to the bone. It safely and gently heats the tissues and increases the blood supply at the affected area. The natural response of the body to the increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis. That means that the body automatically tries to lower the temperature in the area. Therefore, it expands the blood vessels to increase blood flow.
When the Thermotex™ heating pad delivers heat to the tissues, the blood vessels actually increase in diameter via a change called vasodilation. Then oxygen and nutrients in the bloodstream are able to pass through the walls of the blood vessels more easily and initiate the process of healing the damaged cells and tissues. In addition, toxic substances causing inflammation and pain in the damaged cells can then pass back into the bloodstream much more easily. The toxins are then filtered and eliminated by organs such as the kidneys, the lungs, and the digestive tract. As the damaged, inflamed areas receive the increased supply of blood, the cells are nourished and cleansed and inflammation is reduced. A person then experiences pain relief. The heat also relaxes muscles and expands other tissue to relieve tension and pressure on nerves. Q: Can you burn yourself by using one of the pads for too long at one time? A: No. Because the Thermotex™ pad uses infrared heat, it operates at a safe temperature between 104°F and 113°F. For optimum results, it is recommended that it be used for at least 30 minutes per treatment sitting. The manufacturer does not recommend a maximum time for you to use the product. Q:Are there conditions where use of the Thermotex™ infrared heating pad is contraindicated? A: Naturally, a health care professional should be consulted before self-treating any disease, injury or condition. You should definitely not use the pad without your doctor's approval if you are pregnant or have any malignancy (incl. skin lesions), areas with no feeling, diabetes, adrenal suppression, multiple sclerosis, edematous areas, circulatory diseases, scars or burned areas, hemophilia, active tuberculosis, surgical implants. If in doubt, talk to your doctor first. Q: Can you use a Thermotex™ infrared heating pad on broken bones? A: Several customers have informed Thermotex that they, and also their doctors, have felt that their Thermotex™ heating pads have helped them to speed up the healing process that is related to broken bones. In that regard, they were able to use their Thermotex™ heating pads to create heat that permeated through their casts. Q: Is it safe for children? A: A Thermotex™ heating pad can safely be used on children. We do suggest that you use the lowest setting, while regularly checking the area being treated and making sure that the child is feeling no discomfort. Q: How does pain relief from the Thermotex™ heating pad differ from the pain relief produced by drugs? A: Drugs only relieve pain by interrupting the natural muscle impulses. And drugs may produce harmful side
Q: Is the Thermotex™ heating pad safe to use? A: The Thermotex™ infrared heating pad is a registered medical device and it is totally safe to use. Q: Why isn't an ordinary heating pad just as good? A: Other heating pads use ordinary heat elements that only warm the surface of the skin and a few layers below. The infrared light waves of the Thermotex heating pad go...through the skin...through the muscle...all the way...to joints, bones, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels. Q: Why is the Thermotex™ heating pad so much more expensive than other heating pads? A: The Thermotex™ heating pad is totally different from other heating pads on the market. Other heating pads use ordinary resistance heat elements that only warm the surface of the skin and a few millimeters below the surface. The high-tech manufacturing processes that produce an infrared-generating device are very costly. So, the Thermotex™ pad is not cheap because of all the technology involved to build it. Fortunately for the end user, it will more than pay for itself many times over. This is because you will not have to buy as many expensive pain relief drugs, perhaps none. Also, you will avoid many health problems which are side effects of the drugs. NewDay Health offers all shapes and sizes of Thermotex™ heating pads.
